Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

[TJ O'Pootertoot]

I'm not a huge fan of the TTC line numbering thing but since they DO number all their lines, what makes the Premier think the DRL will get to have a proper name? It's been weird, the last couple of weeks, his apparent need to put his mark on things (subway lines, license plates etc.). In the meantime, not that Line 6 has a great ring to it, but I'm not calling the darned thing the Ontario Line just because he says so. If it's up and running by 2028, as he's promising, maybe I will.

In the meantime, I look forward to hearing how much time it will take and how much money it will cost to redo the TPAP which received formal approval way way back in, let's see....late October 2018.

We will see how long it takes to convert to an acronym.

Lower Ontario Line...........a Doug Ford project.

Follow the LSE corridor and go underground right by Corktown common.

Even if that's not the exact spot, agree with your gist. There's nothing in the projections so far that preclude the necessary underground sections.

With Doug Ford's rumoured aspirations to become Prime Minister of Canada why stop there. Subway to Vancouver!

There's as long as a delay for the announcement as delays in transit construction...

I hate that press conferences never start on time, yet I can get in trouble for being 5 minutes late... I need to be a senior government official.

DRL going down to Ontario place has to be the STUPIDEST thing I have ever seen.

 

[narduch]

I want to watch/listen to this but god damn it's hard to listen to Ford.

DRL going down to Ontario place has to be the STUPIDEST thing I have ever seen.

That certainly makes no sense w/the Ontario Place we know today.............but that does imply something else?

How else they could have called it the Ontario Line ?

 

[BejewelledCarp]

The best I could get...
