What plans? They have said that station locations would be finalized during the EA. The EA hasn't been done yet. They would start creating plans and specifications until after the EA is complete.Den, I'm fine with a station at Brimley, but it simply isn't in the plans.

I think after they conduct the EA they will see a need to put a station at Brimley and Eglinton due to the distance between the station at Kennedy and Lawrence and McCowan is too much (4.3 km). I don't think there is such a great distance between any two stations on the TTC subway system. This will shoot up the costs. What will happen then?
I think everyone prefers the City's route. What Murray proposed was so horrible that I actually thought it was designed to dissuade people from supporting the subway.
A Brimley station makes sense if you're looking at the BD line in isolation and it would be totally awesome if you happened to live there. But rather then spending that money on an underground station, it could be spent on extending the Eglinton LRT further east. With surface stops at Midland, Falmouth, Danforth and beyond, this would give more effective transit to the whole corridor rather than a single point.

I thought this forum was the Eglinton Crosstown. Why is there discussion on the scarborough LRT / subway?
