The bottle neck is Toronto to Milton and then in Guelph and then again in Kitchener.
After that it's not so bad as long as the weather is clear.

Moving ahead on tendering Smartrack stations. Some, like Finch will need several years of construction.

"With the agreement now signed, Metrolinx is moving forward with the procurement to build four stations located at St. Clair-Old Weston, Finch-Kennedy, King-Liberty and Bloor-Lansdowne, with the final station – East Harbour – being delivered through Ontario’s Transit-Oriented Communities Program. All five stations are anticipated to be open and operational by 2026."
"Each station will be managed as an individual procurement and contract, and requests for proposals are expected to be released this August and awarded in Fall 2021."

Interesting that the province included the Sheppard subway extension in this map.

Is that why they are building a new subway station at Sheppard and McCowan?

I love all that transit to the east. They deserve it.

The question is are they actually building it?

According to the recently released 2051 plan, its likely going to be part of the "Phase 2 of subway expansion", however whether or not that happens is probably up to how the next election goes.

I sure hope Doug wins the next election so this stubway can finally be completed as it should have been.

Whether or not the Sheppard subway is extended has little to do with Doug Ford.
A reminder, btw, that it was the Conservative government of Mike Harris who cut the line back from VP to Don Mills.
With all the appropriate caveats as to future uncertainties......
Sheppard will more than likely be extended east to VP for a host of reasons discussed at some length over the years; and westward to Sheppard West in order to connect to the Wilson Yard, largely to benefit Line 1.
East of VP may well happen but is certainly a longer term and lower priority project exceedingly unlikely to be approved in the next term of government.

I wonder how much sense this actually makes. You're digging a new launch shaft deep underground (Don Mills is really deep), and spending a ton of money on new TBMs... just to dig a 2km long extension? It will be far more cost effective just to keep the TBMs running and get more value out of the extension.
