Don't know how to reply to the above, it was LRT or nothing under Transit City... Which is fine, as I don't see how this line could have been approved and built at the length proposed if not as LRT. As @BurlOak is like to remind, the best solution was a hybrid Crosstown-Scarborough LRT scheme that would have been underground through the Golden Mile, until the idea was destroyed by City Council in favour of the transfer LRT and then the Scarborough Subway.
The good thing however is that there will be many relief points along the Crosstown corridor where passengers can transfer onto other subway lines if their destination is downtown for instance. If the Ontario Line is built, there would be one at both Don Mills and Kennedy, splitting peak demand.
So I am not terribly worried about the density proposed at the Golden Mile.
