So why don't they just have express busses from stc to centennial and utsc. It would be faster than a Sheppard lrt branch, or an ellesmere lrt/brt, or the srt extension.

Presuming the Scarborough subway and Sheppard East LRT are going ahead, I think they should do three branches for the Sheppard LRT: one turning north up Neilson to Malvern town centre (or finch), one turning south on morningside (or Neilson) to UTSC. One continuing on east on Sheppard to...

Not just Toronto. Should be all of GTA, southern Ontario, or all of Ontario. Everyone wants to make big plans and draw fantasy maps but nobody wants to pay for it. Sales tax is the fairest, and the biggest money maker. It could fund a full DRL from Roncesvalles to steeles, as well as Yonge...

I think the 2% sales tax that Harper cut should be reinstated by the city, tied directly to transit infrastructure

Not a map, but an idea: how about an infill station at bloor & church/jarvis? There's 850 metres between bloor-yonge and sherbourne stations. Every morning I get off at Bloor-Yonge and walk to church, and I'm not the only one. Just as Bay station provides some relief to Bloor-Yonge, I'm...

The ttc has said they prefer the Wellington alignment, so that's where it'll probably go. Wellington (or King) means it can intercept both Queen and king streetcars in the east and west, with stations at Queen/dufferin, King/Strachan, Queen/Broadview (or Queen/River, or Queen/Degrassi)...

I think Steve Munro's alignment is the most practical. Wellington to front & spadina. The western leg should be a repurposed UPX. That's why I think the Don Mills leg should just run EMUs, so they can through-routed.

The point of a don mills subway north of eglinton is that people who would otherwise take Lawrence, York mills, finch busses to yonge would instead get off at don mills.

Between Ellesmere and McCowan? Nonsense, that would never happen. I think you should actually go ride the SRT sometime. Ellesmere and Midland are the least used stations in the entire network. The SRT corridor was chosen because it was available and the simplest route, not because that's...

I think East Mall/427 station should be closer to Dundas, and Sherway station closer to Queensway. But if it happens, I'd prefer if they run EMU's, so it can run express to union from Kipling. Likewise I think the Scarborough subway/SRT should do the same from Kennedy. (One or two stops could...

Sure, if they supported it, put the proposal together, and agreed to raise taxes for it. Nobody's talking about it now, they have other projects they're working on (dundas, eglinton).

The problem with the Scarborough Subway is amalgamation. York Region can build subways to Vaughan and Richmond Hill because they can decide for themselves what happens north of Steeles. If Scarborough were still it's own city there would be no question that the BD extension would be built. But...

Here's a Queen subway idea I've had for a while. This could be a DRL alternative, or it could be in addition to a Don Mills DRL. A full Queen subway, that meets the BD at Main street. The far east stations & Scarborough subway will be re-routed down Queen, bypassing Yonge-Bloor. Main station...

Yes that's what I mean. Roughly like this:

Ha, maybe they've never actually been to STC. If the subway is built, the connection between the mall and station might be like Yorkdale (except probably underground rather than above ground).

There's no need to veer off of McCowan to reach STC. They can just move the station to the east side of the mall. Between Ellesmere & the 401 the tunnel could move just west of the road (rather than directly beneath it) to bring it closer to the mall if necessary.

Here's my fantasy map; nothing that hasn't been done before. Full DRL, full Eglinton, and Scarborough, Yonge, BD west, and Sheppard West extensions. Everywhere else can be LRT/BRT. And here's my long term, pie-in-the-sky, 100-year-plan idea. 11 lines branching to each suburb, creating a...

I posted this in another thread but it is more appropriate here. I went ahead and created a map for my secession idea. Ontario is way too big, both geographically and in terms of population. It could theoretically be broken into six provinces, that could each govern their territories more...

Whichever they want, but I'm assuming Northeast. I chose Barrie over Owen Sound because it's bigger and centrally located. While We're at it, I also support the provincehood movements for Vancouver Island and Cape Breton, as well as the three territories. Combining those with my Ontario...

I had an account, but I haven't been here in a few years and can't sign in anymore, so I made a new account. Here's my idea of a fantasy network. I haven't included LRT/BRT or Go Transit, but we can assume places like Sheppard and Finch have some form of Light Rail. The concept is each line...
