Not sure about that. I’m not an engineer but I have seen many bridges widened off of existing supports when being rebuilt

The guideway would have to be updated to accommodate trains. Hopefully we can figure out a way to utilize the existing bridges over Midland, Brimley and McCowan and preserve this ROW through industrial land to minimize future costs.

Not sure this section will be demolished. Possible used for the Sheppard subway extension. Glad to see the busway finally getting under way, too much time wasted

Looks like they have abandoned the intervention shaft south of Brimorton, the road is now fully open. The original plan (notice sent out to the neighborhood) was to have this point as the point to fix the TBM this fall. I assume this new location on the south side of the 401 is now the...

Wondering if the TBM made it to the south side of the 401 before this happened?

With the Sheppard subway extension possibly/probably looping down and meeting up with this new STC stop my guess is this will provide a direct link to the mall. They are temporarily closing McCowan rd at the end of August for 5 days for around the clock work to remove the Progress bridge but...

I like the idea of interlining and taking advantage of existing stations on either end. However using new technologies, Automatic train control and hopefully driverless trains on the Sheppard line could make this difficult.

Not duplicating infrastructure but taking advantage of exiting infrastructure/stations at both ends to eliminate transfers. Merging with the existing Downsview tunnel in the west or looping south into the new McCowan/Sheppard station in the east and going south to STC as has been suggested.

Having the option to merge the Sheppard line west to Downsview or even Finch station has merit. This allows one transfer from the Finch LRT or transfers to the Downsview Go. With the possibility of running further north if needed in the future

Most likely following the Go train corridor and then using the east west SRT right of way.

The connection to Sheppard west station will either require a loop to connect with line 1 or it could continue west and merge with the track going to Downsview

The plan was to reach the intervention shaft south of Brimorton dr late summer/early fall and fix the TBM. I wonder if that’s still on schedule. Hopefully it made it past the 401 without any snags.

Final design is years off, if this project even gets off the ground. I personally don’t see underground in these low density areas, possibly elevated in sections. The success or failure of the crosstown and finch line once up and running will heavily influence this design. The underground...

project not funded, 10% design phases is to see if this is feasible and to create discussion. This project competes with the Sheppard East extension. Scarborough needs to decide what is priority, movement within Scarborough or subway connecting it to the rest of city.

This process of community consultation focused on this one project is extremely flawed. Let’s be honest, many more buildings/projects of compatible size are coming to this area. Individual Project by project analysis at this stage while asking a community to undergo unknown intense change...

I like this plan if the province decides to go with LRT instead of subways. This could then be tied into the Eglinton east LRT extension creating a Scarborough loop connecting subway stops, Go stops, shopping centres, U of T, Centennial college and future TOC’s. Hopefully utilizing the...

The constant movement of people behind the home plate seats is distracting. Putting a barrier behind the last row of seats would solve this and also help cover some of that faux stone

Great pics, thank you! Makes you realize the potential of the area. Lots of single family homes on their way out to make way for new development. Hopefully city and province come up with a plan to develop this area starting with a new hospital.
