I believe the urgency for housing will make the sheppard line in whatever form it takes a priority for the province. Future residential intensification of Scarborough needs to be properly planned. The Feds with their 6 billion dollar plan with freedom to build fourplexes in existing...

I agree the more planning we do now the better the community will be once it’s built. The question is how is this done with all the existing single family homes, I don’t see the city or province buying up all these properties. Unfortunately setting new zoning and allowing developers to come...

I see Sheppard being extended west and possibly one or two stations east before a full extension to McCowan. Connecting the Allen rd side with Yonge needs to finally happen especially with the Finch LRT starting up and the Yonge Subway extension on its way.

Private developers will be the ones who develop the non metrolinx properties. IO with the TOC program will get the ball rolling with there proposed deveoplment on this metrolinx staging site. Most of the community intensification will be provided by private developers once the city puts...

The province needs to better define the TOC 500 metre radius around these new stations. With OMB challenges barred within this 500 metre radius, existing neighbourhoods will be helpless to shape these new communities. Sounds like a lot of high rise development is going to get a quick rubber...

Sheppard west extension would help alleviate some of the pressure on the Yonge line. Passengers travelling to the west side of the city will have the option to transfer at Sheppard instead of Bloor.

The community is built around the hospital so it would be tough to loose it. Having said that it’s days are definitely numbered, the towers old and the original building is even older,

I agree, this area needs to be defined especially with the new station. This neighbourhood is presently a mix of medical buildings, retirement homes and ambulance stations and unfortunately it might loose the hospital because of its age. Tough site to redevelop a new hospital especially with...

Monday metrolinx sent out email update of TBM progress, unfortunately still north of 401. How long will it take to get to the intervention shaft south of Brimorton so this problem can get fixed? The closure allowance of sidewalks around the launch site have been extended by 21 months. This...

Great news! Now let’s speed this up and start work asap. Work on what you can while waiting for environmental assesment

The success or failure of the Finch LRT will dictate what happens in Scarborough. Scarborough residents will be able to get downtown with 6 subway and 6 go train stops once fair integration happens. Scarborough in 20 years won’t look like the Scarborough we have today, Politicians need to...

Josh Matlow passing the buck, TTC and the city needed to work together on this. Busway can still be built quickly but Ford will have to step, finance it and remove all this red tape. Simplify the design and keep costs down, we don’t need a York busway 2.0. Keep it simple and turn it over to...

Busway won’t be ready for 3 years, So this isn’t going to happen. We need to look at opening up Subway asap. Extension doesn’t need to be finished 100%. Focus on building STC station and take your time completing Sheppard and Lawrence stations. Let’s learn from the crosstown mess...

Sheppard west should be priority one imo, Yonge line is already the busiest in the system and now they are extending North. Making the connection to the Spadina line will relieve pressure and bridge this northern transit gap, especially with the Finch LRT coming on line. Finishing the...

$68 million for busway, another year to complete plans and then construction begins in 2025. The City has no money, I don’t see this happening. The city also doesn’t have the $175 million do dismantle decommission existing RT infrastructure (2018 dollars). Province needs to step up or this...

I agree, this LRT line needs to connect major hubs in Scarborough. I’m also not a fan of the routes drawn, they shouldn’t even call it the Eglinton east LRT extension because it’s not an extension of that line.

I’m talking about looking at Scarborough 10-20 years down the road when these systems might come into operation if we’re lucky. . Scarborough’s population is exploding just like the rest of the GTA. Dedicated bus lanes might work now but are not a long term solution for an expanding Scarborough

LRT’s are faster than busses because they have a dedicated right of way with fewer stops. I also like subways but don’t see a subway coming to UTSC in my lifetime..

Ideally both do get done, I would just prioritize EELRT over the Sheppard east extension.

I agree, if you’re looking to get out of Scarborough asap you’re going will have two great subway options. Moving around inside Scarborough will still be a major headache, just ask the people taking the replacement RT bus.
