I agree with the second point, but a north-south line through Kipling is more valuable than another line through Dundas West (i.e. Kitchener plus Milton plus UP Express plus future Bolton). Kipling is going to be the new Etobicoke Centre.

*cough* Etobicoke RT *cough* It's almost like we have had this discussion before.

Not sure if this has already been posted. This report will be on the TEYCC agenda for this Thursday's meeting.

Ontario Line Joint Corridor - Early Works Construction and Right-of-Way Permits

Toronto has a distaste for large public projects. The Ontario Line will never happen.

You're ten years and a thousand pages too late. Toronto doesn't even have a say in this anymore. Thanks for playing.

The Ontario Line should be extended east first and then northeast via Kipling Station enroute towards Pearson to provide rapid transit to an entirely new area of the city, not Dundas West

We have the UPX though.

Also an Ontario Line to the airport via Kipling does provide line 2 relief that allows extensions to occur, connects to the bus hub there, and that extension would likely include a stop at Humber Loop allowing the Lakeshore West streetcar to be independent of the Queen or King cars.

Do we need to relieve Line 2's western half? Never heard of this line being unable to meet demand.

Don't disagree, but there is a fair amount of development happening on the west end of Line 2.

It's getting pretty close. From Ossington 85-100% full.

The province has a distaste for large public projects. Once Doug Ford and the Queen of Virtue Signaling in Ottawa is gone the Ontario Line will never see the light of day.

Will that be ameliorated with ATC though?

I will take that bet, what's your wager?

Who, pray tell, is that?

 

[Undead]

What's even the point of this kind of thinking? I get that the way we do things is highly frustrating. But it's like some people let their resentment build to the point where they don't want the City/Province/us to succeed anymore.

As for the politics, Del Duca promised not to cancel any projects currently underway and Trudeau is propped up by Jagmeet. I'd say the OL looks relatively safe by now.

lol this has to be the funniest post on this forum... buddy have you been under a rock? Ford/Metrolinx/Province have taken over the decision making and the city has no say or jurisdiction whatsoever. In the coming weeks the environmental report will be approved by the Minister and even if Ford loses (which I doubt) the liberals and ndp have already confirmed they will continue the Ontario line as is with no changes.

Once the EGLRT opens at the end of the year I expect it to be Red from Eglinton due to the increased ridership that the LRT will bring.
