hate to be the bearer of bad news...

Alternative angles from Nov 14

Really? Are you sure of this? Last I recall there was virtually no demand along the line 3 ROW that wasn't already adequately served by the 43 and to a lesser extent the 57

The 943 was pulled during the COVID service reductions and hasn't returned due to a lack of resources and demand for the route. We do not know if it will ever return. If it does, I do see it running on the transitway albeit on its peak-only 10-minute weekday headways. After 5 or so years of...

Correct me if I am wrong but 220m would also be taller than all the existing and proposed towers in Scarborough, Etobicoke, Markham Centre, North York, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, York, and East York

220m? what is going on?

Is there any information on how the new Bolton bus is doing?

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.
