The machine comes in sections so i would imagine they will dismantle each section at a time as it emerges from the tunnel

Sure, I was just wondering how big the front cutter section was.

That back halfof that 10m part, what's called the Stationary Shield (very good names I know), is probably the longest part of the front pieces. They'll seperate the shells for removal, unlike at Cedarvale, where they kept them all together because they didn't want to have to reassemble them.

The trailing gantry carts are longer, but they can theoretically be disassembled.

TTC should relocate the northbound Bathurst bus stop to the north side of Eglinton so that it's right in front of the main entrance to the station. And also so that waiting bus passengers have more room to stand compared to the existing cramped bus stop.

They'll relocated it. It'll probably look similar to the current Dufferin Station. The only probably them is only one artic bus fits on the northbound side. An artic bus behind always have to wait before the lights.

The targeted grade separations look a lot like the concepts myself and others here on UT have created over the years. Essentially a north or south side alignment, with trenches to get under intersections.

Peak hour ridership if 7,500 pphpd for the Transit City 17-stop option into Eglinton West. That's higher than Line 4 and Line 3, Scarborough and Vaughan subways.

Though, they're proposing in-median for the ground-running sections.

Elevated over Jane
Tunneled under Scarlett and Martin Grove/Eglinton
Trenched under Kipling

So why did they not do this in the east and connect to the rt

Well, that looks like a heck of a case for Option 2 to me.

But who cares. Toronto City Council and Tory will do what they want.
