This is really such a narrow view of the City and greater region. It would be logistically, and financially unreasonable. Exactly why the Province should always be the ones making the big picture decisions on large scale infrastructure upgrades.
Both locations are great and where they should be
What a preposterous set of comments.
Its clearly a reflex to what you think is an anti-subway argument; even though I'm pro-SSE as seen in multiple posts in this thread; though I disagree with some choices made (going north to McCowan and skipping the station at Eglinton/Brimley), 2 moves that would have improved the business case, but I digress.
If you treat people who are on the same side of the issue as you this badly, no wonder you have so few allies.
Secondly, you certainly may disagree with my idea, that's fine. But suggesting that my idea is 'narrow-thinking' when it clearly encompasses larger goals, more players and more geography is patently absurd. An argument you clearly made, because you didn't know what side I was on, presumably because you've forgotten past posts and didn't feel like looking them up.
To suggest that either campus is well located is so absurd at to be beyond imagination.
The location of any campus needs to meet a simple test, how many people find it easy to get there?
There are plenty of other tests when you get past #1, but when you fail number one its a serious problem.
There is no version of any transit plan under which a subway or other higher-order transit ever serves UTSC directly. As such, it is poorly located.
Centennial, at least, might have been served by an SRT extension in one iteration of a transit plan.
That said, the Centennial campus has no adjacent retail, very little residential density, is undesirable to walk to, cycle to, or live near; all while having mediocre transit connections.
Moving the campuses is not an excercise is denying Scarborough a subway, its an exercise in justifying that investment, and making any subway more successful; while making the lives of more students and more faculty easier.
