    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Whereas the multi-billion dollar LRT shaves off nothing and keeps forcing people off keep the additional non-central transfer. Amazing, to think we could have some foresight for the future to build something that improves travel time when replacing the RT mistake Keep in mind if council...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    The RL/OL combined with RER will improve redundancy. While the Scarborough subway will improve connectivity to the main feeders and travel time to far more people east of McCowan looking to commute inwards towards the Core. All these lines are far overdue.

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    The guy acknowledges the subway will save time for future commuters (not to mention the removal of a transfer) and yet throws the usual BS about it being one stop when he most likely knows exactly what is going on. Seems like a typical Toronto special interest group doing what they usually do...

    Durham Region Transit / Pulse

    My experience is the 905 + Line 2 was often 5-15 minutes faster then then going thru line 3. Saying that, the future Durham-Scarborough BRT combined with the line 2 subway extension will provide a far more efficient route for this travel pattern and should be the better option when compared to...

    Durham Region Transit / Pulse

    They have already built large sections of bus only lanes in Pickering and Ajax for phase 1. The cycling lane design is unnecessarily dangerous but I expect phase 2 to be a similar overall curbside design on highway#2 thru to Oshawa and on Ellesmere in Scarborough. I don't foresee any City of...

    Durham Region Transit / Pulse

    Considering the line has positive impacts on 5 different Cities, Id say its a pretty safe with the $ to vote value quite high for politicians

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    Sexy. But the orange Eglinton line should wrap around progress into SCC or a seperate LRT line to since the BDL will go up McCowan to Sheppard. Sexy. Only comment is the Line 2 extension is likely to go up McCowan to Sheppard. So we'll likely see an LRT spur to the zoo from SCC or...

    Eglinton East LRT | Metrolinx

    That is council job to figure out. Lots of time on their hands to do so now that they are no wasting everyones time bickering over subways. For the amount of capital required and political points to be gained im pretty sure the Liberal and NDP Fed's will also be at the table to support...

    Eglinton East LRT | Metrolinx

    Completely different lines, serving different purposes. But you knew that and just came here to throw shade at the other line. Sorry it must be tough to accept that Scarborough will be receiving a well connected, and detailed transit network over the next couple decades. Keep fighting such a...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Those sections are only reliable due to the high speeds the train runs at. Again, i don't disagree that it can be designed more reliable but the reality is there is a big issue with the RT being above ground. This is not longer an issues, so thankfully no need to wonder. And again his...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Rob Ford agreed to connect the Crosstown underground then above ground seamless on old RT alignment. Council rejected. Tory did a cost analysis of the RT corridor BDL and it wasn't that much savings. Although It would have been a good compromise in my view. I believe the Conservative are...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    I conclude the City received the political leaders it deserved the past decade from this exact over the top rhetoric and Scarborough will now receive the connected central transit it deserves after enduring 34 years of one of the most poorly designed transit lines around. And will receive a...

    Eglinton East LRT | Metrolinx

    I really don't think you see much tangible opposition at all to bringing this line to the priority areas in East and N-East Scarborough and connecting to UTSC. Although most likely don't realize they are losing a couple car lane which will surely see some angry voices at some point (i don't...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    LoL. Only on UT would this be a fantasy We just had a Downtown Councillor running the bulk of his far away ward campaign on stopping the Scarborough subway. Somehow this is healthy rhetoric and normal to some here? Its pretty damn extreme to me, and some worse politicians became more...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    If you are only want to talk only Toronto borders then it should be completely obvious why we are also building extensively in the east. And when you acknowledge the FWLRT that is being built and note the Eglinton west extension will be underground for your comfort there is really no merit to...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Finch WLRT? EWLRT? even the Hurontario LRT can be considered 'West'? If the inner City politicians weren't so hell-bent on cutting corners on far overdue projects in the massive Eastern Borough the last couple decades we could have put more focus on other plans to follow. Id also like to see...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    The City will now have the capacity to fund EELRT. Construction should be ready in 2-3 years. 2027 possible SSE will terminate at McCowan Priority list based on expected timelines but are all priorities: OL EELRT/Waterfront ELRT SSE/Yonge EWLRT Sheppard

    Eglinton East LRT | Metrolinx

    Thankfully, the 'small world' City politics have been completely removed from influencing transit planning and the entire City can move on not only extensively but more importantly with attention to detail that was constantly under attack for any territorial gains

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    The assumption led by many outside politicians that Scarborough commuters only want to travel short distances was the biggest issue that set the City back. We can finally move on with a plan that opens up the options and supports various important criteria in creating an overall network for...
