Service till 12 is a start, But I am quite shocked that the 8 and the downtown Markham branch of the Purple saw no improvement in frequency for the opening of York University

86 Storeys? Could that be a typo? Have there been any updates to this plan since 2020?

Rome wasn't built in a day

What on earth are you rambling about? Why do you feel the need to shift this discussion to subways as a whole vs lrt as a whole. This is specifically about the EELRT and it always has been. Please Read this initial message below and my initial response below because it seems you need to refresh...

I want to clarify, I am not arguing that no one wants LRT, neither am I arguing that LRTs are inherently bad. I am specifcially talking about the proposed and partially funded EELRT, from Sheppard/McCowan to Kennedy Station.

The current City Council has expressed their full fledged support for the EELRT on numerous occasions. I could not even recall a mayoral candidate or city councillor that has expressed their dissaproval for the 4.6 billion dollar "slower than a bus" streetcar, You can enlighten me if you'd like.

Is there any support for the LRT outside of political pandering? From my ancedotal experience, people either want to scrap the whole thing, convert to BRT, or extend the subway instead. One thing I know for sure though, is that cost is not an argument you can make in support of that LRT as...

transferring once to go to STC is the status quo. transferring twice from scarborough east to remain on sheppard, isn't. The Pop up posted by @Markster shows quite the opposite, people wanted option 3 as this would eliminate any transfer on sheppard as opposed to the current situation (1...

the frequent 10 minutes or better 85 will almost certainly be cut back to Mccowan/sheppard, since they want to make that station a terminal for a ton of bus routes in scarborough and north york, regardless of what option is chosen. A branch will run maybe every 30 minutes between yonge and...

That is quite interesting, but I completely disagree, Someone who lives in markham or northern scarborugh (myself included) would probably be more screwed over from 2b, since they would have to make an additional transfer on line 2 to get on line 4. For instance if I lived on Mccowan and finch...

But I think regardless of what happens, condos will still come full force at sheppard and McCowan, that intersection is inevitable

Don't you mean 2A? 2B avoids Sheppard Mccowan

The majority of people are going to be torn between 2a, and 2b. I do find it interesting though, that they chose to include a brimely/sheppard station over a station on birchmount.

those were my thoughts exactly when "outside the straight line" was mentioned, lol. In the east it could certainly go to centennial or even UTSC to south or of course malvern to the north. In the west it could continue through downsview to pearson. But my personal opinion, is that Doug Ford got...

why don't you think this is useful? I still believe this is the most accurate comparison to the GTA and will continue to be so for some time.

there is another church on the hydro corridor 1km away on brimely and mcnicoll, it's decently sized as well.

can a BRT really handle all of this development?

I'd say the sheppard subway extension is more of a priortiy for scarborough residents, but it seems to me that city council has already decided the contrary

I Heard through the Grapevine that city council decided to reduce the height of this proposal from 19 Stories to 8 Stories.

amazing work, these look great
