Personally, I think the solution for Richmond Hill is to have the Ontario Line take over the alignment north of Eglinton - that would solve the Don Valley problems and actually give an alternate destination downtown that could divert more people from Line 1.

Except that one of the worst spots for washouts/erosion is the section between Lawrence and Don Mills.....

I'd suggest Ontario Line would either join the Richmond Hill line just north Donway (north of Lawrence), or head west near Green Belt and use the abandoned link that's now a hiking trail.

I wasn't suggesting that they'd use any of that track east of Don Mills.

Oh just the first woman to become Premier in Canada's most populous province (and one who overcame both an intense amount of sexism and homophobia to become so), who implemented Ontario's $14 minimum wage and a significant raft of important labour reforms, pushed the Federal government to reform the Canadian Pension Plan, instituted one of the world's largest cap and trade carbon pricing programs and Ontario's first basic income project, made pharmacare free for youth, oversaw a provincial economy that saw record low levels of unemployment and, relevant to this thread, made substantial investments into mass transit in many forms after decades of underinvestment.

Forgot about "a $15 minimum wage by 2019, said the law will ensure all workers are entitled to at least 10 personal emergency leave days annually, two of which must be paid."
"Employers will be banned from asking staff for a doctor’s note if they take 10 or fewer days a year."

However, since Doug Ford was "FOR THE PEOPLE", got rid of most of them.

The women that sold half of hydro one, driving up costs?

Why mention their gender, and what has this to do with the Ontario Line?

And how exactly has selling Hydro One driven up costs? Last time I checked, hydro rates came down during Wynne's last term (lower for 2019 election than in the 2015 election when privatization began).

Besides, it was the PCs who planned the Hydro One privatization, starting with Mike Harris in 1998.

Lots of time for that to get tweaked in the final design. They just need a design that works for the tender; the final design may well differ significantly.

What's interesting to point out is the layout for Pape Station:

30m is 19m from line 2 platforms. So that’s almost twice as deep as the surface to the current platform. People are so going love this transfer!

Now if they build Gerrard Station at 9 stories under, it would just be better to just take the 72 down to Gerrard than to utilize OL.
This is already happening for Cosburn Station.
