Jane south of Eglinton narrows (and grades become an issue too IIRC). Instead of running a TTC track on Jane, St Clair should have been a TC spec rebuild and run through to Jane directly or via Eglinton. Too late now.

I don't even think it's possible. TTC/ML and the contractor will get into a big fight on who owns what asset, who does the maintenance, who pays for the maintenance, who pays for the track wear and tear and who pays for the storage. If a TTC owned streetcar gets damaged, who's fault is it? This will be very messy. This would only worked if TTC owned the Black Creek yard was well as being the maintenance provider.

Phase 2 of RapidTO Jane consultation was scheduled for Q1 2024, then delayed to Spring 2024, now the website has been updated showing consultation delayed to Fall 2024! Really disappointing. In January staff told council they were ready to move forward with the next phase of consultation, so why is it taking until Fall? https://www.toronto.ca/services-pay...to/rapidto-have-your-say/rapidto-jane-street/

Connect this to the Western end of the Ontario Line via Weston, Dundas and Roncesvalles.

That seems messy. Wouldn't the buses run faster on Jane?

Running the Ontario Line up Jane would save money and get people downtown faster, that's what I mean.

How does that fit in with the RapidTO line?

It's a more functional solution.

Extending the Ontario Line subway open Jane would certainly be more functional. But I doubt it will be comparable cost-wise to some paint and some jump lanes.
What was the Eglinton/Kingston cost per kilometre?
