The plan probably was to have a station at Eglinton Kingston. MX probably could have chosen the SRT corridor or Brimley—water under the bridge. Even if the tunnel weren't there, the transfer at Kennedy would happen. I agree with the rest of your post—especially the part about the subway. However, BRT must be implemented if the EELRT is cancelled.I would argue the person who “screwed up” is the one who pointed the Bloor Danforth line station and tail tracks east rather than north east. Where else could Metrolinx’ tunnel be positioned other than beyond those?
the transportation landscape in the S-word will be quite different from when EELRT was modelled, with more service on the Stouffville line, the Line 2 extension, even the SRT busway. It may make more sense to route an LRT along Lawrence, and keep going to Don Mills and meet an extended Ontario line, but if Sheppard extension gets shovels in the ground and with service ramp up on LSE, S-worders south of 401 will find a case for rail harder when frequent buses are heading for two subway lines and two frequent service GO lines
