No. Though the current length should be able to handle 20,000 if they convert to heavy-rail - which would fit in the tunnels.
But such conversion isn’t such a cut and dry procedure. By having to put in high level platforms at each station, rejig stairs and elevators...wouldn’t it be about on par in terms of costs/complexity as converting Sheppard to LRT? Or was it always part of the plan for underground Crosstown to potentially convert to heavy rail in the future?
Ah, makes sense. I wonder what will be more realistic in ~50-100 years: extend the stations for 4 or 5-car LRT, or convert to 4, 5, 6-car heavy rail.It says in the EA:
