I've been finding it hard to find confirmed information on this line. Does anybody know what stations on the line are definitely confirmed and whether they'll be below ground or not?

No. Where did you hear that?I thought the plan was re-opened because Metrolinx wanted to eliminate a potential pinch point and have complete grade-separation between Mt. Dennis and Don Mills?
That's because it's a bit of a moving target.I've been finding it hard to find confirmed information on this line. Does anybody know what stations on the line are definitely confirmed and whether they'll be below ground or not?

I don't think I'm understanding. Why not do what? Have it elevated or make it interlined? And how would that force gov't to get their ass moving on the airport extension?
The ECLRT in the East end is eventually going to be elevated one way or another. Might as well do it now. But like you said, not at the cost of other lines. Hopefully those "back room discussions" at Metrolinx that Gweed mentioned will result in Metrolinx sneaking in an elevated portion.
because local residents make a stink otherwise. and yes, Jane has been relegated to phase 2. Jane and Leslie have been cut from the original EA, and Weston / Black creek have been combined to create one station. so 3 less stops than originally planned.
Make it interlined.
It's moved to Phase 2, along with 16 other stops out to Pearson. See the phasing from 2010 on TTC's Transit City pages at http://www3.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Projects_and_initiatives/Transit_city/Current_Projects/index.jsp and in particular in http://www3.ttc.ca/PDF/About_the_TTC/Transit_City/Eglinton_LRT_route_diagram1.pdfSo is a Jane Station no longer happening?
There are some concerns. Ferrand has certainly been discussed a lot lately though - not more to be said there ... and there's clearly some densification opportunities - it's still about 500 metres from Don Mills Road. I'm not sure Ionview is so bad ... it might be close to Kennedy Road, but it's a long way to Kennedy station! Ionview is about half-way between Birchmount and Kennedy - about 550 metres from each. We have subway lines with closer spacing than that - and this is LRT. Lebovic seems the worst to me - it's only about 300 metres from Warden.I'm sure that this has been discussed before, but are there no concerns regarding the above ground stations east of Don Mills being really close to one another? Why the hell does Ferrand or Lebovic need a station?
I'm not sure how removing Jane is good news ...3 stops less = great news.
Uh, yeah, that's what I said they sacrificed the Leslie station surface stop ...They sacrificed the Leslie surface stop, there was no Leslie Station officially on the books.

But wasn't that a case of the launch site being changed in response to the burying of the Leslie section? It was my understanding that the launch site was dictated by the desired tunnel stretch, not the tunnel stretch being dictated by the launch site.
If the south side option is chosen, theoretically they can revert back to the original launch site, no?
I'm sorry but how was my comment related to the elevating of eglinton? I was simply observing that local residents make abig stink over cancelled stations, as well as responding to ramakos question on why Leslie or ferrand would need a stop.
That article is over 2 years old as well.
