What if they covered it over like the Keele to High Park stretch.

That would add bulk visually - not sure if that's the right solution except for instances where the noise level is unacceptable.

I'd imagine she is almost purposefully blundering through. The top Liberal brass won' support the delay, so she has to try and make it look like she has a chance of doing something.

Plus ventilation until electrification.

Murray doesn't have to stop the TPAP. TPAPs don't build stuff, money does, and Metrolinx doesn't have money QP doesn't give them. If funding for the GS is released, the cabinet essentially approves the project.

“It’s become clear that Metrolinx is bent on taking shortcuts so we’ve concluded that the only way to find answers to our concerns is to utilize the talent within our community and dig those answers up ourselves,” he said.

Options for Davenport chair Laura Zeglen acknowledged that its grassroots EA is not going to be as technically thorough as the kind of report that Metrolinx could have produced given the group’s resources, yet she believes people are going to be surprised with what it comes up with.

Yes, I will be very surprised when their inevitable conclusion is that the tunnel is way better.

Yes, like this:

That options appears to have much less visual disruption to the community. I do wonder about noise abatement though...

In space, no one can hear you scream.

I also wonder where will they put the new GO station that the community wanted. Outer space would be a little far from the neighbourhood.

The elevator ride might be a longer trip than the train ride.

I hope that the TTC focuses on getting money to relocate the stations at Dundas West and Lansdowne so they are directly tied to the future lines. Doing both at the same time could reduce the amount of time the line has to close on weekends while this work is being done and then people will transfer to the rail lines to get downtown.

The community is trying to ask for the moon to try and stop this project. The city and TTC should look at it rationally and see how it can improve connections between the services and to provide better transit to the community. And that's not with stations that will have limited service since no one will use them.

I'm not sure its realistic to think that the TTC will be relocating any stations.

And it will be determined that the tunnel is the superior option. Am I right?

Absolutely. Construction and connectivity impacts, as well as cost, will be given little weight in the evaluation!
