Yes. If the costs of the Sheppard conversion to ICTS, plus the elevation from Don Mills to Kennedy is cheaper than the conversion to LRT, with the LRT at grade to Kennedy, them I'm all for it.
Part of me is hoping the costs of the SSE balloon to the point where we revert back to to the plan of upgrading the SRT to Mk 3 standards, so we can at least discuss a more integrated network, with connections to Malvern and the Sheppard Subway. This one stop proposal is madness.
I agree with a SRT upgrade but many of you don't want that. It is either LRT or subway. I am surprised that the LRT crowd is not trying to sell the SRT upgrade idea a little more
They're just different types of trains that will provide a virtually identical experience for commuters; I don't know why anybody would be wedded to either the LRT to ICTS. I've historically been more supportive of the LRT, because it allows for street running, and should have lower per-kilometre construction costs for extensions than ICTS, but if theres an ICTS proposal that has lower or comparable prices (especially when factoring in Sheppard Line conversion and potential grade separation), then I'd be all for it.
