It looks like an architecture students plan for Yonge station on the Eglinton LRT. not real at all.
I thought Richview lands was sold to a developer?
Want to wager how long it will be before the LRT is ever extended west.
I still find it hard to believe with all the stops along the LRT (25) with the majority above ground someone in the east will take it to get all the way to the west and to the airport.
I don't think this will be a problem. Theoretically the LRT could have full priority over vehicles at smaller intersections and only occasionally have to stop at the larger ones. But we'll have to wait to see how aggressive the signal priority is and how they plan to set up the intersections.If extended west then more stops. Plus how can times for the LRT running below ground be maintained when the same trains are running above ground and facing lights (I think they will be facing lights).
The western extension should cost less the 1 billion and can be built by the city without the province.
Since this is a provincially funded, built and owned project (I've lost track of who will actually operate it -I know Metorlinx wanted to, but TTC objected), the City won't have much say on any future extension. If the City wants to fund it west of Mount Dennis, are we going to have a line that has one segment owned by the province, and another by the City? If anyone can shed some light on who will be opearating it once it opens, that would be appreciated.
I'm still not comfortable with Metrolinx owning the ECLRT. If we were to ever have a PC government while the TTC's contract to operate the line expires they'd likely try to privatize the entire line like they did with the 407. Hopefully the TTC owning anything west of Mt. Dennis and east of Kennedy will make this an impossibility.
Do we know why Metrolinx is so adamant on owning ECLRT? They don't seem to care at all about not owning the Relief Line or Bloor-Danforth extension.
The western extension should cost less the 1 billion and can be built by the city without the province.
Is this any particular station?
Are those platform edge doors?
