Third thank you to Solid Snake. Keep up the fight
The Province and city are ridiculous.

That document is almost 4 years old. The more recent one is probably more accurate
Uh, I think you're making my point for me. Scarborough is 100x less dense than NYC boroughs.
SSI - the Gardiner was also considered beautiful and modern in its time. The Golden Mile needs to change. Building a barrier will guarantee it doesn't change inti a family friendly neighbourhood. Other than tilting at windmills or being car drivers, your arguments make so little sense.
Depends on the cost. If it's less than $450 Million, I may be willing to support it. Over $500 Million is too much.
The Golden Mile doesn't need to change but rather quite the opposite. It is essential that the Golden Mile stay zoned for exactly what it currently is...........commercial/industrial.
Finally, apropos to the Leslie to Don Mills brouhaha -- quite frankly, while I think Don Mills had certain attractions (especially the OSC parking lot as a construction site) I think that minimizing changes that need to touch this toxic Mayor and Council is a HUGE win. Do not underestimate the damage Ford can do. Opening up any plan to his meddling is to invite disaster -- not necessarily because he actually wants disaster (although with transit that might be the case), but because he is incapable of complex decision-making or compromise.
Maybe not Ford specifically, but Denzil Minnan-Wong has never passed up the opportunity to muck things up in a deliberate, almost evil fashion.
Ah, but that was relatively non-contentious - and a significant improvement over the existing EA for the community. There'd likely have to be adjustments to the EA for Kennedy station as well ... and I expect that will fly through without much noise.Ok, but they (Metrolinx) stuck to their guns for the EA amendment regarding Mt. Dennis and it was passed by city council the same day Metrolinx announced the about face re: Brentcliffe-Don Mills!
I did say home building supplies {ie big box Home Depot} gas stations and where they buy their cars for a partial description of the Golden Mile.
My point was that some think LRT at grade is fine as it will create a more urban environment with higher density which is impossible.............when was the last time you say a big box store abandoned for residential? Grade separation would be much faster, reliable, less disruptive to build, have far higher capacity, be cheaper to operate due to automation, and , wait for it, CHEAPER to build. Yes, that's right cheaper to build because the underground stations could be much smaller than they are currently planned for if the system was automated as the frequency could be easily double the frequency of any non-grade separated system. One 40 meter subway station has the capacity of a 90 meter LRT station in a non-grade separated system.
Vancouver's Canada Line 50 meter stations are too small but will still have a higher capacity than Eglinton's 100 meter stations and are much cheaper and easier to build. The cost savings from smaller underground stations would offset the difference in price between an elevated DM to Kennedy section.
OK, Emperor, put on some clothes. Your nonsensical arguments just hit rock bottom.
