Yeah, it's going to be Carlaw. Pressure from residents and the local councillor was enough to sway it. I'm interested to see just how much more expensive it's going to be.

I dread to see it - and it doesn't bode well for cost containment if one keep on choosing the highest cost options for fear of NIMBYism. And look at Gerrard/Carlaw:

It's going to eat up the plaza (privately owned) - which meant expropriation. And you bet that someone will want a pavilion entrance for this sucker, and a park - and no condos. I also love this bit about less impact on "stable residential area"

Like just how many units are there right along Carlaw?

Perhaps they should have called it less impact on single detached residential instead.

Streetcar service along 504 King instead of heading to Broadview can take a new alignment up Parliament Street to Castle Frank Stn via the new Parliament Stn at Queen Street. This will further intensify growth along the Parliament corridor, which is outpacing the Sherbourne corridor in terms of density.
514 Cherry gets absorbed into the former 501 Queen car to Neville Park and 503 Kingston Rd car to Bingham.
75 Sherbourne to account for a non-direct transfer point at Queen and Sherbourne does an on-street loop of Shutter, George and Queen Sts before resuming its normal routing. This is similar to what's being proposed for the 47 Lansdowne bus when accessing the new Caledonia Stn.
Fully agreed. One of the stupidest thing in this city.The cheapest option isn't always the best one. I think the Spadina line being in the middle of Allen Road...
Why? At grade, cheap to build, lower maintenance. If it wasnt built here it probably wouldnt have been built at all. Is it stupid because it isnt under Bathurst or Dufferin?To simplify this picture, which I think is necessary: I'd combine 501 and 504 (transfer at the West Donlands station) and do away with 514 Cherry. The need to have a Parliament streetcar going into Castle Frank isn't practically justified to me either.

It has decent development potential while Pape has literally none.
There's nothing that says Pape can't be redeveloped in this area. Even if the subway goes down Carlaw.
