If you read the start of this thread on UT which leans to a non Scarborough centric bias most here never expecting plaything other then subway connection. What the heck would you think the people who lived here expected? This poorly designed LRT scheme and the fight by outsiders to preserver...

As opposed to the great RT? Who talks to people like this anyway? Jeez.

This is what happens when Scarborough council had to compromise on corners cuts with each plan to make a deal with outside Politicians. This crap would have never happened per-amalgamation and I would be the subway extension would have been planned along the previous corridor into Malvern...

I don't disagree with you. But you have to design this as a destination that is attractive to the lifestyle of most of the people who live here. Especially when making drastich changes. Providing common 'welcome' areas for motorists are key and shows a future intent to business owners and...

Building density NIMBYSM is everywhere including area around the Core of Toronto and even midtown. As far as transportation expansion in Durham, goes I get the concerns. You simply can't take away vehicle lanes in an area like this when migrating better public transit. They have to go back to...

Nice addition to that area. Get it done!

Again. There would have been 2 transfers with the LRT plan for many to reach the subway instead of 1. All Politicians lie. Even the well spoken, well dressed ones spewing their transfer LRT 'evidence based' propaganda. 99% of Scarborough politicians of all stripes want to see a plan to...

Actually this is not true whatsoever. The LRT plan introduced an additional transfer for commuters going to the short subway stub. Such a poor design concept to connect Central Scarborough. Sorry but the benefits of bus to subway is greater then bus to LRT to stubway And calling people...

This will likely be the big debate around 2040-2050 when the Pickering extension gets a bit more serious attention. Unfortunate to see a gap and moreso it being in Malvern of course, but if we can see both subways and the EELRT delivered in close to 15 years it will be a minor detail in the...

'We deserve' Decades of having outside Politicians and their media friends controlling the transit narrative in the City. Some going beyond extremes to talk over our residents and attempting to decide which transit solutions are best for Central Scarborough. No one here deserved that nonsense...

Cant believe we still have SELRT thread? Meh.

This LRT extension makes sense to connect to the Crosstown and sprucen up many long claimed 'priority areas'. 4B tho. Yikes. It does seems we double the construction costs every 5-10 years now? Possibly, but that game has lost its flare big time. Residents are fed up all over the City...

Yes, a plan that would actually connect people and would save paying 5 times more in the future. There is a small chance it happens now that the line is with the Province extending the subway, although McCowan will still be the easy path to get approved.

Politicians in TO basically have their seats set in stone (minus riding removed by Ford). Bottom line Its bascailly the same faces in council here for life. The circular planning game that has gone on here for decades is simple. Announce a plan, study it to death, cut some corners, defer...

Haven't heard any updates here https://www.shn.ca/future-facilities/ If option#3 is being seriously considered to relocate the General hospital towards the Centre the Province and City have a very nice size parcel to get creative with
