I sincerely doubt that Sheppard east of Neilson will ever generate 5000 pphpd levels of demand. Not even Finch West a far, far more heavily used corridor will see this, withits present day 1300pphpd and projected rush hour max of 2800pphpd by 2031. Sheppard East with only 28,000 users a day, most of which stem from the western end of the route, has too much going against it to ever be a worthwhile transit upgrade investment: the proximity of the 401 which is largely congestion free east of the DVP/404 most of the day; its cut off isolated nature from the greater region east of Markham Road (i.e. no direct arterial connections to Durham or York); the Midtown-Seaton GO corridor transit potentiality; Malvern's population growth maxing out with little room for further expansion. Add to this the fact the LRT ROW fails to link to major transit hubs nor trip generators and it has the markings of fail written all over it. I'd really like to see where the ridership's going to come from after the SRT extension into Malvern is built.
