I think the easiest thing to sell is just build the Eglinton Crosstown LRT as subway down the central section, because that's cost-neutral (it costs the same to build a subway tunnel as an LRT tunnel). As for beyond the central section, I suppose we could cut the part east of the currently proposed tunnel, and for the west see how much of it can run above ground and/or trenched and/or in the ROW and cost that out and see how much that would cost. It can definitely run above the 401 to Pearson like the LRT is planned to.
As for the Bloor extension, I don't think we should separate out an extension to Sherway from an extension to MCC. MCC is a far bigger destination, and would be woeful to leave out of a westerly extension. We'd end up with an overbuilt terminal at Sherway when its only meant to be temporary.
And why do people keep saying a subway extension overlaps with GO? It doesn't. Never has. Never will.
