44, TJ, take it somewhere else man. Honestly.
I know perfectly well how OPs, OPAs, Secondary Plans and zoning work, I assure you.

It was renamed. It's now officially the Yonge-University instead of the Yonge-University-Spadina.you mean as it is nowhere near Spadina Road?
I think the entire branch should be renamed. I know there is historical reasons, but the name is still largely misleading.
To open York University Station, I would imagine an operational possibility would be to have a train cross-over north of Finch, and wrong-rail to York. Every other train could use the left or right track. Or, with long enough headways, just use a single track north of Finch West's crossover.So he's "open to options" but I didn't imagine the York-terminal thing (I did mis-type "Steeles" in that last post, however). And I believe others have verified, they can't turn York into a terminal unless they run the trains up to the not-open-yet Steeles station for the sole purpose of turning around.

That's assuming they actually get York U station into a state fit for human habitation. I wouldn't be surprised if Del Duca's aggressive stance is to try to prevent the kind of massive shifting of resources away from the Vaughan stations to York U station that would be required to get that station operational sooner.
Opening to Finch West is the low-hanging fruit for a staged opening, and if they're studying all the possibilities, hopefully they will see that.
Really? You wrote paragraph, after paragraph - telling your audience that the official plan can’t change.
Prove it.
Really? You wrote paragraph, after paragraph - telling your audience that the official plan can’t change. You continued to quote and bandy about dated info that contradicted the recent info I had to brush you up on. I even made it easy for you by providing screenshots of the by-law changes and amendments, and yet you still denied it was possible. And insulted me for saying we were in the midst of changes. Nice try, though.
Enough already!Prove it yourself - you know where it is. Hint: it’s around the time you downloaded/reposted my map (w/out permission), took it out of context, and childishly put words in my mouth concerning why I drew subway extensions along Sheppard and Finch.
the mods are sleeping
Who cares? Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and Richmond Hill Metropolitan Centre are officially Places to Grow and they get subway. End of story. Anything short of such is denying York Region their manifest destiny. TJ is set to retire once he cashes out.
Or just always optimistic that people can sort it out themselves (or that they'll just get bored and stop it).
*sigh*
OK STOP IT YOU TWO. DON'T MAKE ME PULL OVER.
Allen Road, which was originally called the Spadina Expressway, was built at the same time as Spadina Line. Somewhere down the line the name of the expressway changed to Allen Road.
