A design like that would have been unacceptable in the awkward 1980's. Designs like those really need to stop from proceeding, atleast along our main roads at a minimum. These are the new monuments shaping the areas future

I was only referring to TO bordering 905 Cities As for 'want' York region will soon have 2/3 bordering City Centres with Vaughan and RH *Pickering subway extension was very clearly discussed Link here politically in the previous Provincial election. Obviously far, far, far off the design...

The subways will stretch out to all major Centres surrounding Toronto just as it is already started, and currently being designed and built. It is really nothing comparable to GO which acts mainly as a funnel from non-central Southern Ontario locations into Union station. This GTA subway...

I assumed some here laugh at the idea of further 905 Centres being connected to the subway in the future Not shocking in a forum when so many ridiculued and said the SSE would never be built. Toronto politicians cant F with 905 Cities like they did w/ Scarborough. The Province is and will...

First off Scarborough is part of Toronto and should have it's Centre connected to the main transit arteries it pays into with no issues. Unfortunately issues came but im glad we moved on to build a solid legacy for Central Scarbororough. As for the 905: I'm a strong supporter of Misssauga...

A boring machine would never hit the ground on Sheppard east without connecting to or thru the SSE stop McCowan/Sheppard station at a minimum. This is the current conceptual plan as it stands. I wouldn't be all that shocked if the take it to Markham Sheppard or Milner before its finalized. A...

The OL/RL change has multiple political layers and games involved, I wont delve in too deep but I do expect this admin to accelerate progress in order to have it as 'their' line. Again this is to my point that the Cons dont really care about pissing off any hardened relief line voters in the...

Politically the Core of the City is hampered being heavily entrenched to one side of the spectrum, and in recent history there has been little to gain for the Cons and no reason for urgency from the Left, whereas the suburbs can be a crap shoot between all 3 parties at the Provincial level. That...

Thankfully the noisy opposition to subways in Central Scarborough will be fully ignored for the Sheppard line now that it resides are the Provincial level and it will likely to continue into it's design phase next term. The line is very well supported by both the Cons and Libs at the...

Nice change in design, this cluster needed it. Always felt it would be nice to see some designs with light features at the top on some upcoming towers in this area. So dark at night for such a key area of the City, even a couple towers Leslie and Sheppard have been designed to have a bit of...

'...The addendum also confirms Metrolinx’s decision to speed up construction by using two tunnel boring machines – one being launched at Eglinton Avenue East and Midland Avenue and the other at the terminal station location on Sheppard. “The two will be working together at the same time to...

It will help slightly but the Kennedy station construction will still wreak havoc on frequency for some time. I take this route a couple times a week, moreso the express and it's really not held up by traffic outside of Kennedy station and regular traffic lights, which this does absolutely...

I think it will be a good test for to see how traffic patterns change or worsen with the removal of vehicle lanes The City seems to be doing this a pre-curser to the routes which are slated for future LRT. I'm interested to see how it goes, it will certainly be helpful for public transit...

I couldn't imagine any 54 rider east of Kennedy remotely considering taking a longer trip to the RL even as the current infrastructure sits rights now. Riders here would drop down to Kennedy and Eglinton as they do now. There is no savings there whatsoever. The relief line helps Scarboroughs...

I get the point with the OL north but it still creates a inconvenient and avoidable transfer to a stub of subway for those continuing west. Not going to happen unless the stub could be converted into light rail. Many have doubts technically and politically. The City will grow drastically in...

We would still be adding a transfer upon a transfer for the majority. Bus to LRT to stubway for most that dont live directly near an LRT stop. Bus to subway makes life alot easier for many elderly, handicapped, families with small children and for the easy of use for everyone to even consider...

I fully agree with the three stop elevated subway extension for the SSE would have been highly beneficial to meet both connectivity and future growth needs. But hacking in an LRT to a short subway stub on Sheppard was closer to madness, the Sheppard extension to Malvern will be anything but...

100% *Connect the Centre to a main transit artery *Connect Malvern to the existing Sheppard subway stub Common sense. Those were two major priorities known and ignored within Transit City (amongst a few other minor design flaws on the SMLRT). This should have never been up for serious debate...

The Miller admin plan was as political and shady as they come. Lots of LRT track, not much detail. Few (even on UT ) expected this outcome for Scarborough. Most residents felt it was a disconnected farce, our townhalls were full of others telling and selling us about LRT as the greatest...

'Value for money' =A term the LRT lobbyists & outer Scarborough political opposition weaponized when the sad plan to build one technology with little consideration to design details in Scarboroughs overall transit network with the negative impacts to future growth in the Centre was called out...
