Genuine question here. Why isn’t the line buried in Scarborough? Why do Scarborough residents have to wait outside and share traffic lanes with the LRT while the inner burbs get the gold treatment?
They're not sharing traffic lanes. Exclusive ROW means what it says. If you're not an LRT train or emergency vehicle, expect to get fined. Heavily. Apart from a few very short sections, Eglinton isn't losing any traffic lanes. The city loses more lane space around condos being constructed (with many being apparently used by construction crews as an impromptu parking lot for their personal vehicles while on the job) than it ever will with the LRT, but I haven't heard nearly the level of anger over that compared to the complaining over the Eglinton LRT and how it apparently will end civilization.
Why does Rosedale only deserve an above-ground, open air station? Why is Victoria Park above-ground and open to the elements? I don't hear any complaints about those stations, even though Scarberians will feel a chill wind whistling through Victoria Park on a cold February day. Oh, but they're subways, so the wind's different. Or something.
I have my doubts about that being a genuine question.
