No... don't build something just for the sake of building something to curry favor come election time. Thought and willingness to invest money needs to be put into this. Transit needs go far beyond a 4-year electoral cycle.
Build something not just for today's needs but for future needs as well. Screwing up transit in the Eglinton corridor forever is inexcusable, when if built as grade-separated the Crosstown could and would majorly compete with the Bloor-Danforth as an alternative for getting around the city/region. Cutting costs on what's the single most critical piece of new transit infrastructure built in a generation is categorically wrong.
