It's nice that Osgoode is ready for the Queen Subway, but we have to be honest with ourselves. The cost savings from that are minimal. We're talking small fractions of a percent of the overall construction cost of the line. And that is only if there are costs savings. Since the 60s, tunnel building standards have changed dramatically. There's a good chance that the moved utilities will not help us at all.
We have to ask ourselves whether or not savings (if there are any) that amount to pocket change are worth putting the line in a less desirable location. I think most will agree that it's not worth it.
