Fortify this, expand that, widen everything...it all sounds so easy. It's not.
Unless your implying rennovation of an existing line is more expensive than tunnel-boring a new one from stratch please shut the... well you know 8) .
farms don't need subways.
But apparently industrial wastelands do :rolleyes .
Ryan suggested extending Scarborough's "lame duck" Rapid Transit line into Pickering, Oshawa, Markham and York Region to create a major transportation network linking "millions of people, several key business corridors and two university campuses within three separate municipal regions."
Finally, I'm truly not alone on this . Hear that mockers, someone who actually wants better than GO in East Scarborough and Pickering besides me. Following the Malvern/Zoo alignment it'd be by no stretch of the imagination to continue eastwards to Sheppard/Kingston Rd before meeting up with Pickering GO and onwards to Brock Rd. Maybe then you'll get it, it's not about where it ends, it's how many more people that get connected to mass transit.
This doesn't even have to affect BD running along a different alignment to STC so in the end three (3) rapid transit lines: BD, SRT and Sheppard, would serve the city centre and BD could even continue north via McCowan to the exhalted density nodes around Steeles and Hwy 7.
He's just trying to one up Joe Li's plan to extend the Yonge line to Hwy 7 & Ninth Line.
You know as you bring that up I never did get a proper link from you guys about it since Li's site has been revamped.
How bout funding for sustainable transit? If all we're given is money for SRTs, stubways, and Sinkhole extensions, no wonder we're in such a mess.
Quite the contrary, our budget's eledgedly been going into subway/RT extensions yet most of the city's nodes are inadequately or not-at-all at a subway line. If not to new subways, the $ all going towards maintenence and new bus purchases. The three Ss are disgracefully underutilized and until their eventual expansions transit in this city will never be sustainable.
