TTC: Jane (LRT) RapidTO

[dowlingm]

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.
