The biggest thing to watch though IMO is the Scarborough Subway. The SmartTrack plan makes the subway almost completely redundant, and I hope the solution is just simply a branch off the Stouffville line headed to STC. That's the simplest way, and the lest expensive way, to satisfy almost everyone.
Agreed. And I hope we keep the SRT alive and refitted for no other reason than for it to remain as a showcase of affordable and realistic grade-separate light rapid transit.
Personally, I mostly support the idea behind SmartTrack (to use railway corridors where possible). I'm not 100% sold on its current incarnation. It seems it negates the realistic possibility of a downtown crosstown line, or any N/S rapid transit line between Yonge and Kennedy. Just as it will probably become the de facto Scarboro Subway, it might do the same for the DRL as well.
