It must be something in the drinking water. I personally would take a Davisville or Yorkdale styled station any day over a concrete montrosity like the stops of the Sheppard Line.
Interesting that their stations cost $29 million while ours are costing, what, $300 million now? Sure they're shorter, but one tenth the cost?

How is the Eglinton LRT going to leave Kennedy Station? The station is quite busy, with four floors. Is it going to have an underground stop?
Well, if Eglinton gets built as ICTS, it could end up just continuing as the SRT. Is there room there for a through station on the SRT level without insane modifications?

I don't see the point given they first proposed to move it down to the mezzanine, and they've since proposed to replace with LRT.Existing level, Looking at google maps it seems could just graft an incoming line onto the loop track, and go through onto the SRT track.

No bus transfer area, one entrance only, no collectors booth, no fare gates. The concourse level has the same footprint as the platform level reducing excavation and finishing costs. Plus, $29 million is the marginal cost of adding a station to a section that already would have had tunnel and tracks, so that likely reduces the perceived cost.
... uh, I guess ... but there's been absolutely no recent discussion of this happening from anywhere other than a few folks in this forum. And there's been a lot of talk of getting rid of ICTS on the SRT ... so I'm not sure the point in discussing - outside of some fantasy or alternate reality thread.Well, if the province (through Metrolinx) decides to runs ICTS on Eglinton, why not make it a through route.
