That's exactly what TTC's 1973 DRL plan showed wasn't it? Down Donlands, then down the west side of Greenwood yard.

See below from Steve Munro's website:

This is nice! I have heard the subways can't turn easy so I think this would help.

Miss the boat again after 105 years when first proposed.

Will they be studying the western Relief Line as well. Metrolinx has provided $7.4 Billion in funding, which is enough to build both the east and western part of the line.

Has provided? Where exactly is this money?

If they could copy Montreal's Lionel-Groulx and Snowdon stations which are actually brilliant. Too bad St.Georges wasn't built that way

Lionel-Groulx

Everywhere seems to have such wide open-concept subway/rapid transit stations. Makes the ones here seem claustrophobic and dingy.

The vast majority of the London Underground doesn't. Not excusing Toronto though, just saying.

A new report will be considered by the Planning & Growth Management Committee on December 4, and by Council later in the month. Download the report in PDF from this link.

Why are they doing a study for another study?

Why are they doing a study for another study?

Because this is Toronto, a city where we also need a panel of experts to study the findings made by the previous panel of experts (i.e for revenue tools).

 

[innsertnamehere]

no because it is part of the planning process. this is a relatively basic document about how they will approach the problem of designing a DRL, explaining it. Its about open government, this is simply explaining how they will address the development of the DRL. expect to start getting real documents and consultations soon. an EA is a huge complicated process of planning to ensure the DRL is designed properly, and this is simply the first of many steps. it is in no way a final "study", as that is something that takes a long time and lots of work to produce.

Ugh.

U think planning subways is easy?

Fair enough. But they could roll this into one big study and not three separate ones.
