Best part is there will no longer be any foolish geographical local politics interfering with other areas to 'prioritize' specific areas or cut corners on others. We can now build the network of various needs extensively thru-out this massive City on a similar time-line.

This is a big win for the City. There would be almost no support politically to overturn any of the lines moving forward and all areas of the City can see some of their overdue needs addressed in the next decade

Good to see support, but if the prelim report comes back with a stop addition at Brimley there is no reason the City would not approve Either way its good there is finally unobstructed consensus to finally move on with a connected central line

Lectured? Gimme a break, Im asking just to stop making chit up with the unnecessary wisecracks a few here use often to boost the over the top anti-SSE stance. Back towards topic I fully agree that BRT is needed across certain roads. A network approach which we finally arrived at was all that...

Really not sure why you felt the need to go off topic to post something so meaningless to begin with, even if it wasn't a completely BS statement. Since you doubled down feel free to find a way to even stretch and enlighten an actual Scarborough resident with these supposed 'facts' that...

Never a shortage of ignorant humour in this thread

The line is 'delayed' to repair and design the necessary stops too make it useful Until this 'delay' all we were receiving was just a tunneled 'line'. No stops. Much thanks to the usual outside detractors, and dividers at City Hall The detractors are certainly to blame for the majority of...

Similar to 'not all LRT designs are the same', 'not all transfers are the same'. Having the transfer location at the Centre instead of before it was common sense for various reasons in addition to the inconvenience for those arriving at this MAIN destination Over 75% of RT rides either start...

And the BRT can then become a permanent solution as a cross City Centre to Malvern subway feeder. It wont die. lol This idea only lives in the hearts of a few here on UT and has been propelled by very ugly Downtown municipal politics which has now been completely removed from the decision...

Both lines should be too far along to overturn. The OL had to be pushed ahead politicaly otherwise the Left parties would have attempted to revert back to the original RL. Still might get intersting there because there always has to be some 'battle' but the SSE will be in its most supportable...

The Conservatives have timed this line (and moreso OL) for maximum political gain but aside from that its a go on all levels. When the cheap talk lines up in all parties its as concrete as it gets. Timing is everything This isnt the City of Toronto planning anymore where the line is...

A line that is supported by all Provincial parties, with a fully expired RT and with an actual efficient design with stops wont go to RFP when ready? Ya OK.

Markham Rd is an area which will already see large near term development on both Ellesmere & Sheppard. The lands around Lawrence and Kingston have very high potential as well as the strip plaza which line the "avenue" in between. Based on future density & develpoment potential I see a...

Looks really good. My semi-realistic recommendations: -BDL west could be ready to connect into Mississauga Centre. The push will 100% be in full force when its time to extend west in the future -EELRT should go further to Malvern Town Center (it's also in the current design) -Connection...

I hope the NDP take an angle that is helpful in improving the line rather then a full out opposition of all things Ford. I don't see enough wrong with the plan to start over again after this term is up.

As a suburban transit rider that commutes city wide i dont fully agree. For one I love my express bus routes and as for having any preferred order of mode iI dont and It truly doesn't matter as long as its clean, not overly congested and more importantly takes me where i need to go in a...

Continuously comparing Torontos poorly connected, poorly grade separated Transit City LRT plans to other LRT lines which are completely different in implementation and.or areas served does nothing but water down discussion of the real issues. The design details are far more important then just...

The only part of the Transit City LRT plan I liked was the SLRT north of the Centre as the alignment would allowed for a run thru Centennial up to Milner. Otherwise central connectivity was still very poor and better options would have been: 1. BDL extension thru RT corridor 2. Crosstown LRT...

That may work OK given the complexity but It's still a bit odd as the rail corridor is split between Midland and Kennedy. If the hospital stays in its current location the subway stop could be "Scarborough General" station and GO could take the "Lawrence East" station

For sure, but DT Ajax does have some interesting revitalization plans that are moving forward with some recent density (Harwood & Bayly). It would likely have a bit more by taking out the old worn out plazas in the area if it wasn't for some shady biz...
