Sorry for the delay, I'm new to this. Hope it works this time.
The greatest city in the world, deserves the best. Social apathy only leads political do-nothingness, smog pollution, being late for everything, etc. In spite of your criticisms if I inspire just one person to believe in transit expansion again I've done my part.
To summarize some key points:
Two main east west lines- Bloor-Sheppard and Queen-Eglinton.
Queen-Eglinton: the folly of original subway planning was to overlook these two vital corridors. Starting and ending in Scarborough (Birchmount&Kingston to Rouge Hill GO) this line serves the multitude of Toronto's points of interest including Scarboro Bluffs, the Beaches, Studio District, St Lawrence area, central Harbourfront& ferry docks (including relocated Int. Rochester ferry), CBD, Entertainment District, Chinatown-Kensington, Queen West shopping district, High Park, Swansea-Mimico redevelopment, Humber College, Sherway Gardens, Cloverdale-Six Points development, Etobicoke CC, Airport Corp. Ctr, Airport, Skyway&Toronto Congress Centres, York CC, Eglinton Way Shopping district, Yonge-Eglinton, Leaside Industrial area, Ontario Sci Ctr, Eglinton Square area, Kennedy-Eglinton-Guildwood GO Stns, Morningside/ Lawrence/Kingston area, UTSC, Rogue Hill GO. It's amazing we've lasted this long without this line.
Also included of course is a BD extension to Square 1, YUS extensions into York Region and what I've been trying to non-visually explain for some time now, a modest loop through northeast Toronto (the racoons be damned!:evil !) which could easy well be reworked as population increases, the park's converted to functional residential and commercial space and veins head into Markham as you say (plans were made for a Markham Bypass via extending either Neilson or Morningside to Steeles) and Pickering.
