Constantly dissing Scarborough every few days isn't going to get you subway to Mississauga. Just saying. Your efforts will be better spent lobbying your municipal government.
Yes, I was thinking about how we can make it easier to elevate or run on the surface.
Hey I love Scarborough. But I do question the way we spend our few transit dollars. I don’t expect a subway to Mississauga but it would be nice to have all day service on the Milton line. To be clear if I still lived in Toronto I would think this is not the best way to spend money if not downright dumb. We’re here talking about throwing good money after bad. And we’re not talking about throwing a few bucks we’re talking about a few billion. I am guessing the people who visit this page are in favour of this but the eglinton east lrt, finch lrt page, waterfront lrt page should be outraged.
You could say the same about Yonge extension or Crosstown West extension which are both underground and could have been elevated but for some reason you post a sarcastic comment on this thread every few days. After a point, it becomes a distraction. This extension is going to be underground and we can't change that, TBMs have already started boring.
I did say the same thing in both those cases. Your argument is we made mistake one and two so why not three? I’m happy we’re finally spending money on transit. But it’s a big city and the resources should be spread out. I’m very confused why this sheppard thing. Is such a priority. If we’re extending the danforth and we’re building a long version of the Ontario line then I don’t see any evidence this is needed other than it looks nice on a map.
My argument is not that. My argument is whether mistake or not, SSE is going underground and that ship has sailed long ago. It's not worth worrying about spilled milk.
If you’re talking in 2060 after finch is extended the way it should be. After waterfront gets its transit which is needed. After the Ontario line is fully built out both east and west. And after we see the impacts of how the go stops at Kennedy, sheppard, finch combined with the Scarborough extension work then sure I won’t have anything to say. But until then I don’t think we should assume that this is something we must build just because we made a mistake years earlier.
It isn't dead. But the location where it transitions from subway to LRT has shifted further east.
When has that ever stopped us from investing billions into a subway?
In order for this to work, they will have to do the whole thing from Sheppard West to McCowan. At least you hit the other two lines.
If it's wide enough, they can also easily do cut-and-cover east from Victoria Park. The section between Don Mills and Victoria Park will definitely be tunnel bored.
