If any stations are getting removed it is probably Corktown, Cosburn or Flemington Park - those are the ones the initial business case experimented with removing. Removing any of the west stations means they shouldn't bother with that entire segment. Removing Cosburn would leave a very large...

If they moved to cut Bathurst or Spadina, they might as well drop the entire western portion of the line. Both stations intersect major streetcar routes (well, currently a bus route on Bathurst), and I'd rather not see them skip large swaths of downtown just to make it to exhibition of all...

Honestly, I wouldn't hate the line being truncated in the west if we would get a more sensible alignment at a later date. Merging Osgoode and queen stations would be a damn shame.

The relief line had issues too. Depth, mainly. But it would also be more costly to extend - building elevated north of Bloor is great. Unfortunately I hate the alignment. RL alignment + shallower station depth + smaller trains (i.e narrower/shorter) + elevated north of Bloor would be great I...

Yep, it's really excessive.

Yeah, its absurd and not sustainable. We're talking about a subway extension through the suburbs along a (for the most part) wide arterial road. There must be a way to bring the cost down beyond dropping stations. Likely the biggest issue is station depth. Can they be brought closer to the...

Pretty sure York Region wants this subway extension more than Toronto does. Extending it to Steeles (still in Toronto) first and telling YR to wait would be a bit of a slap in the face.

I have an idea: let's move some money around by skipping the tunnelling on that line by elevating all of it, and then build this line with all planned stations? *Shrug*

I think Munro makes a good point that we are nearing a place in which neighborhood stations are simply too unaffordable to build. This is not the first time a subway plan has recommended bypassing most of the neighborhoods it was originally meant to serve to cut costs (Scarborough subway, though...

Fine with it veering away from Yonge for the final stretch but hate that they are dropping two stations. Build it right damn it

Because the rail corridor is ~500m north of the future Line 2 McCowan station at Sheppard. It would be problematic for transferring between lines 2 and 4 unless line 2 is extended further, and I'm not sure another line 2 station only 500m away from McCowan would be justified given the built form...

Bloor-Danforth seems to manage fine.

Think I'd be fine with either but think I'd prefer line 2. A line 2 extension would give people in Malvern a direct route to Scarborough Centre and downtown like they've long wanted. Might have more engineering challenges getting from underground to grade and making that turn from McCowan to the...

Extending it at grade to Malvern centre is definitely not the worst idea in the world.

Looks good, though I got a chuckle out of them using Toronto Rocket trains.

Still can't believe that weasel is now the leader of the Ontario Liberals. Sigh.

Thats kind of damning. They appraised the land at 2.1 million but said it would cost more than that to clean it up, so they offered him a dollar. But they're the ones who want the land, so cleaning it up should be their problem, not his* I'm all for expropriation for transit expansion, but...

Beautiful.

People are going to disagree with me on this, but IMO, Sheppard should stay on Sheppard. One of the nice things about Toronto is our grid based network. I've always preferred keeping things simple and in generally straight lines. I much prefer having Line 2 extended up to Shepard and having a...

I don't know why they keep dragging this out like its still a thing. Better to let people forget about it rather than keep bringing it up in more and more reduced forms. Its an continued embarassment. Some of the new stations are nice ideas, but its clear that smart track as it was originally...
