West to Downsview will have even less ridership than the current Subway (Yonge - Don Mills). Enormous waste of money.
He's trolling, he knows this.

Sorry, not seeing it. B-D has support throughout Scarborough AND other parts of the city. A Sheppard subway extension isn't anywhere close to that right now.I didn't even finish eating breakfast. Where is GenerationW? This will become a subway to mccowan.
West to Downsview has some political support. That gives it a chance.West to Downsview will have even less ridership than the current Subway (Yonge - Don Mills). Enormous waste of money.
David Shiner is for extending Sheppard (both ways), Shelley Carroll is against it, but Willowdale already has enough subways.Willowdale is against the subway too.

I think they'll either build the LRT or nothing.
I don't know. I think this a another pork project waiting to happen. Sheppard won't have to ridership even if it went Islington to Dean Park but that's not stopping us now.West to Downsview has some political support. That gives it a chance.

Willowdale as an entity is also too small to have much clout.

I think willowdale being one of the richest parts of the city, has some financial clout. We'll see. Like you said, they have enough.
True. That could be the new Jays stadium in some time as well.

Willowdale station has not been roughed in. There's an appropriate piece of track in the tunnel that has the right elevation, where they can build a station in the future. But there's no roughed in station. The TBM ran through the future location without stopping, and there is nothing but tunnel segments there. I'm not even sure if they built headwalls.Willowdale's affluent residents are against the Willowdale station, which has been roughed-in but never finished.

I agree. Nice views of Downtown as well.I always thought it would make a great site for an Olympic Park. Winning the Games would push a Sheppard West extension to near the top of the list if that site was selected.
Willowdale is irrelevant to the eastward or westward subway extension.
Willowdale's affluent residents are against the Willowdale station, which has been roughed-in but never finished. They don't care if the subway is extended east of Don Mills and/or west of Yonge.
So basically one stop (Jane) between Spadina and Yonge eh?
Interesting that eastbound "talk" is now about reaching McCowan even though that routing was rejected back in the 90s (more jobs along Progress I believe). Also interesting is that as part of the Metrogate development agreement Tridel had to donate land to the city for Agincourt station should the subway ever be extended.
The only station that makes sense is Bathurst, Putting a station at Faywood and Senlac is like those other stations that are on the Sheppard subway that no one has ever heard of and I cannot even remember their names much less pronounce them. Subways stations should be at major intersections, not local streetsIn case Sheppard subway is extended westward to Downsview, the possible stations are Senlac, Bathurst, and Faywood. Bathurst will be built for sure. Faywood depends on funding, and Senlac depends on both funding and the locals' attitude (there may be some opposition similar to Willowdale).
IMO, Sheppard subway extension is far from being the top priority anyway.
