I have no idea.
From Sheppard and Don Mills to Sheppard and McCowan for a subway I'm guessing it will be close to 3 billion. Let's say you have 1.3 billion for the LRT line, now you need an additional 1.7 billion for the subway. I don't see the province or federal government pitching in any huge amount. Most of that cost will have to be swallowed by the city.
Finch is even worse. That one will be more than 3 billion. If you take the 1 billion for the LRT, you still need over 2 billion.
Rob Ford did suggest a possible subway for Finch one time.

Pretty sure that was Mammoliti and it was so unbearably hare-brained that even he didn't bring it up again.

Are you saying Mammo is an idiot or that this set of engineers are idiots and the Transit City engineers are geniouses.
I'm less pessimistic about the demise of the Sheppard LRT. The only reason why we are even talking about it is because Ford overstepped his authority by proclaiming it "dead," and the province not having the balls to tell him to STFU. We also saw him try this with the waterfront with his megamall and ferris wheel scheme, but by then his political capital was all used up and the province put him in his place.
At this point, unless we discover oil or gold buried under city hall, the current Sheppard subway has a better chance to be converted to LRT than to see the subway go across to Scarborough.
