just lengthening the Streetcar ROW along Lakeshore coupled with a DRL stop at Roncesvalles and Queen for transfers will be fine IMO.
Totally agree.
After the Leslie barns are finished, I'd like to see the TTC retain the Roncessvalles carhouse properties for an eventual "Sunnyside" superstation. It would have the following connections:
- DRL
- GO-REX
- 504
- 501 (western terminus)
- pedestrian connection to St. Joseph's Healthcare Centre.
I would break the 501/508 that runs west to Humber Loop/Long Branch into a separate Transit City-branded LRT, even though it would use TTC gauge. In fact, the ROW to Humber Loop would be interlined with a future Queensway LRT (also TC-branded).
The other benefit of keeping the Roncessvalles carhouse lands is that it is a natural site for a TBM launch and extraction when we build the western leg of the DRL.
Here's a crude map that shows what I mean (stops on LRT not shown):
