This makes no sense to me. The city certainly did have a plan for the Richview corridor, it was called Phase 2 of the Eglinton LRT.
Phase 2 of Eglinton LRT was going to be a median LRT alignment, which did not require the Richview corridor lands. But the bright minds (Dr. Eric Miller et al.) that came up with SmartTrack thought the land was still there because they looked at outdated Google images, rather than actually double-check the lay of the land. They also thought, and wrote in the preliminary SmartTrack documents, that the land was owned by the province. These are the people who did little more than come up with their own transit fantasy map, destroyed the momentum for the Downtown Relief Line.
