Actually they never finalized the studyI don't think they'd even done the studies to finalize the mode in 2016 - let alone announced anything. Where in the 2016 announcement does it say it's going to be on the surface?
As for Scarborough - I thought it was in the Rob Ford era, that they were looking at going surface and elevated up the SRT alignment, and not doing a tunnel at all. Though all the various options - many of them approved and funded - are tough to keep track of!![]()

I'm pretty sure someone favoured a tunnel from day one that the SRT conversion was axed. The surface and elevated alignments with reusing the SRT was thrown in politically at a later date to justified the opposition. A secret pact was made that TO/Scarborough gets the subway and ML gets the SRT tracks for their GO expansion. It was mention in one of those board meetings back then that it was too late for a surface alignment over the SRT, ML claimed it. Only when the media asked, that option was drawn on the map along with a million reasons why it wasn't chosen.
