Other side of what?

The side that has a rail gauge no-one else in the world has. How can that be "conventional"? It's the antithesis of it. And to beat the chicken across the road.

Guage doesn't matter. My point is why do people keep insisting that the drl should be built so it connects to surface railroad lines when its never been talked about at all. It is a relief line for the Toronto subway line and not a line that is going to serve people outside of Toronto.

Size matters. Where do you think the excess load is coming from?

To help us get back on topic, I received this email.
Dear Community Member,
You are invited to attend a community drop-in focused on the future planning opportunities along the Eglinton East LRT corridor in Scarborough. This community drop-in will include an interactive drawing event and optional walking tour where you will be able to provide input on the planning directions and priorities of the Eglinton East LRT project.
We are undertaking a planning study as part of the broader Eglinton East Light Rail Transit (LRT) project. The Eglinton East LRT will run east from Kennedy Station, along Eglinton Avenue East, Kingston Road, Morningside Avenue, Sheppard Avenue and Neilson Road to connect to Malvern Town Centre. The planning study will focus on developing a vision for the LRT route, improving public spaces, supporting the growth of local businesses, and strengthening travel connections to surrounding communities.
If you would like to attend a community drop-in in the area that interests you most, please RSVP at least 24-hours in advance to EglintonEastLRT@toronto.ca.
The four opportunities to get involved are as follows:
Eglinton Avenue East and Midland Avenue area: September 5th from 6:00-8:30pm at Don Montgomery Community Centre, 2467 Eglinton Avenue East, focusing on the area of Eglinton Ave between Midland and McCowan.
Malvern area: September 10th from 6:00-8:30pm at Malvern Town Centre, 31 Tapscott Road, focusing on the area of Malvern Centre
Kingston Road, Lawrence Avenue East and Morningside Avenue area: September 13th from 6:00-8:30pm at Centre for Connected Communities, 4218 Lawrence Avenue East, focusing on the area of Kingston Road-between Galloway/Lawrence and Morningside
Eglinton Avenue East and Kingston Road area: September 18th from 6:00-8:30pm at Scarborough Village Community Centre, 3600 Kingston Road, focusing on the area of Eglinton Ave between Markham Road and Kingston Road.
**If you are a business owner or operator in the area, please take our Community Business Survey. Completing the survey will help us better understand how we can support business development in the community through the planning process.
For further information, please contact the project team at eglintoneastlrt@toronto.ca or on 416-338-2848.

Is Eglinton East (assuming going to get built) going to be continuation of Crosstown or is it going to force a transfer at Kennedy?

Sorry, good point. Was just trying to get the discussion refocused.

0k I get it now. Again it's to provide relief for the city of Toronto not bringing more people from outside of Toronto in. The TTC and city council really don't care or want to extend either the relief line or the younge line outside of the city of Toronto.

The whole point of tunnel bore diameter and universality of that tunnel for "future proofing" is an entirely gemane line of discussion. Crossrail has set a template for that. The Relief Line should follow.
