Wonder if the TTC™ has a copyright or trademark for rapid transit station names, like EGLINTON™©?
At 38 kilometres, the Eglinton Line is longer than any other rapid transit line in Canada
The distance from Martin Grove to Renforth is quite far. Without a 32 bus supplementing the LRT, it would be impossible for seniors to get to a stop.
I wonder if they can operate the LRT with stop requests for these low demand stations. It doesn't make sense for the current Crosstown but Crosstown West can certainly make use of stop requests. The stops don't have to be full fledged. This just need a concrete platform and and regular bus shelter.
No, that stop is right under the pedestrian bridge. Plenty of people use that stop in rush hour.Plant World does not need its own LRT stop.

You mean I'll have to walk over to Royal York with my 9' sugar maple to board?
People lamenting about Crosstown East stops probably are not realizing how huge Scarborough is.
Many of those stops that seem nonsensical to people, are actually of equivalent stop-space distance to the tunnel section of the line. Removing them would lead to huge stop-distances between stops, larger than Bloor-Danforth. Removing them won't allow for that much more rapid travelling, and personally, I would like to avoid having to run buses alongside an in-median LRT.
Here is the map from the SM-LRT
No one is making new stops here, these are stops included in the EA.No new stops please.
Let's not make this as annoying as the 512.
The subway portion of this LRT is more spaced apart than the BD line. Most stops are like 1km apart instead of 700-800m on the BD line.I thought the stop spacing was pretty tight at first, but its actually comparable to the downtown section of the Yonge line. Plus Scarborough isn't nearly as dense, so its probably fine. A few of them are pretty close to each other, but its not as crazy as I thought.
That said I feel like going from one end of the line to the other is gonna be a giant pain in the butt because of all those stops.
The thing is, the Crosstown is for mostly local commutes. Very very few people would be going the whole length of the line, unless their destination is Pearson Airport. In which case, they can factor the long trip into their travel plans.That said I feel like going from one end of the line to the other is gonna be a giant pain in the butt because of all those stops.
