Yup. Metrolinx will be taking over planning and procurement, and my understanding is that their focus is on the DRL right now. I imagine this one will pick up soon enough.
You mean the Ontario Line. The DRL is suspended as well.Yup. Metrolinx will be taking over planning and procurement, and my understanding is that their focus is on the DRL right now. I imagine this one will pick up soon enough.
Same thing. It's just a rebrand. The city's version was technically the RL anyway, without the "downtown" tag.You mean the Ontario Line. The DRL is suspended as well.
Yep Queen Streetcar subway > Queen Subway > Downtown Relief Line > Relief Line > Ontario Line > Vapourware LineSame thing. It's just a rebrand. The city's version was technically the RL anyway, without the "downtown" tag.
A great example of decades worth of planning and nothing coming out of it.Yep Queen Streetcar subway > Queen Subway > Downtown Relief Line > Relief Line > Ontario Line > Vapourware Line

Would it be too big of an ask to raze the entire mega-block (Royal York --> Scarlett Road, Eglinton --> La Rose Ave) and start anew?Eglinton is nice and green, I agree. But measure the distance from Plant World to an ATM, convenience store, let alone pharmacy. Or an actual playing ground where one can throw a frisbee around, away from traffic. Restaurant? Grocery store? LCBO?
Maybe the new development will negotiate a back door route to LaRose plaza. Otherwise it’s a 1 km walk around the long way. That’s equally true for the rest of the neighbourhood, so perhaps there are many who like their neighbourhood bland. But it’s a long LRT ride to a Subway, even.

I fail to understand how that's necessary.Would it be too big of an ask to raze the entire mega-block (Royal York --> Scarlett Road, Eglinton --> La Rose Ave) and start anew?![]()
They'll just have to replace the parking lots with higher density buildings. Whether or not those buildings would be higher or lower will be decided in a cage match.I fail to understand how that's necessary.
Post was made in jest. It is private property so my dreams of playing sim city in the area would require heavy expropriation or rise of totalitarian dictatorship, whichever that proves more prudent.I fail to understand how that's necessary.
It all should be he same then this would allow for people to continue without a hard transfer.Anyone think it'd be a good idea for Eglinton West to be a completely separate line from Crosstown? Hear me out. We know the Prov now wants this to be fully grade-separated (ie a "subway"). But since it's connected to the rest of Crosstown the line wouldn't be a subway by default. This could actually be one. Two car trains. Sort of makes sense to do it this way since 1) Crosstown uses hefty low-floor vehicles designed for urban tram use. Not exactly a vehicle befitting of full grade-separation in the suburbs. And 2) Crosstown east of Kennedy is dead, all configurations. So the line is really a shell of its former vision with room to play around. Also full Crosstown stations would be 90m long, this would be half those lengths (less cost).
But there's more. Sauga has done some heavy lifting with Transitway grade-separation between Renforth and Hurontario. This could lead into that (one day), just needs a proper connection to Sq One. Also one day, a N/S subway of the same system running from Kipling to Pearson - this is integral to the vision and the reason I posted. It'd be an integrated network of smaller automated subways serving 427 corridor-East/West Mall, Pearson, Eg West, and Sauga. Be a bent cross shape, about 30km, four services: Sq One-Kipling, Sq One-Black Ck, Kipling-Pearson, Pearson-Black Ck. Drawbacks, yes. But huge benefit.
