hah. The high 1990's figures was because they used insane job growth projections in NYCC and STC (as in there being 2/3rds the amount of office space in NYCC as there is downtown), not how many condos there are.
The projections for the sheppard LRT account for large amounts of residential development along the corridor, but not the insane growth that was used to justify the subway in the 1990's. ridership for the LRT is also quite high for an LRT, but far from full and far from subway levels.
Unless you think that NYCC is suddenly going to have its office space increase by roughly 400% and have STC's office space increase in 1000%+, the Sheppard subway doesn't make sense.
