Another reason why your line 3 could have been a game changer. I don't think the City as a whole understands how big of a boon Bluffers park and the Rouge National Park could be to the City's tourism if connected to transit. Many 905 City's promote their dinky waterfronts better than this rare gem.
From the time I moved from the City core to Scarborough this became one of my many pet peeves with the neglect of the City... Why the 503 streetcar was not being extended back out to Bluffers and down the path, why it was so inaccessible by cyclists and why there was no signage to something to such an already popular tourist location? It was always so packed. With the new Waterfront project and pedestrian/cycling path coming its going to be even more attractive. We are so far behind not only in building, but planning. Aside from the transfers and unfunded Eglinton East It was disspaointing these details were not covered in Transit City and even worse when McGuinty cut out the Zoo.
If your plan was funded (without Sheppard) it would have been supported extremely well IMO. I think even just as a phase one of line #3 and full #5 with phase two as line #7 would have touched enough residents, paid attention to important destinations to see support and move forward. The more I look at your plan for line #3, I would personally be OK with killing the one stop SSE, starting over design so long as Eglinton East moved to construction and firm funding was committed and #7 was in design. In the reality I have a hard time seeing how the political fallout would be at the stage were at. Unfortunate.
