Chuck I agree with you to an extent. I'd prefer Eglinton were subway too, but what's proposed for Eglinton should be fine for 20-50 years. For all intents and purposes, the underground portion will be operating as a subway, and with the LRT at least it'll be a one-seat ride from one end to the other, and the western portion should be as fast as the central portion according to the TTC (yes, I know, according to the TTC, but it's the only info we have at this point). DRL can only be subway. And Sheppard already has a subway, so it makes no sense whatsoever to put an LRT and make a stub forever.
I've always said SOS believes in extending ALL subway lines. The terminals we have were all build like 20+ years ago. We should be reaching out. Bloor should be extended. Danforth should be extended. Spadina is being extended. Yonge should be extended. Sheppard should be extended in both directions to make something more than a stubway.
