"2090 is a forever away."
Yes but the way I prioritized the expansion only minor extensions would be left to be completed by then. If subway/RT could realistically get as far as Morningside/UTSC and no further, I'd be content cause at least density east of McCowan isn't ignored.
"DRL over seven billion times. Poor Don Mills, a megarterial with "density" and it'll never get a subway. And poor Weston line, it would diagonally hit like every single bus route north/west of Dundas West..."
The DRL is iffy. Weston sub already contends with GO, VIA, CN/CP, a possible Blue 22 and opposition from NIMBYs in Weston. At least the addition of four more tracks and tons of property acquisition would have to occur before DRL could even be considered. Then think of stations:Annette, St Clair, Rogers, but beyond there? It'd only make sense beyond Weston if it ran into Brampton which already has GO service.
Don Mills would still need to have shared bus service like Sheppard does today and I thought another line south of Queen would be overkill hence why I had the Queen line serving St Lawrence directly and south to Queen's Quay to integrate the harbourfront better with the rest of the city. North of Eglinton a SRT-type elevated subway perhaps but much like your qualm with Malvern, Thorncliffe Park isn't worthy.
"People in Jane & Finch and Rexdale must rely on buses? Then what the hell good are all the subways? Honestly, you're just taking every place in Toronto with "density" and playing connect the dots."
Except my plan puts a stop in the heart of "real" Rexdale (Islington/Rexdale/Bergamot) and Jane-Finch would, even without the Sheppard West part, be well within range of subways (Steeles West is practically at Jane, Finch West, Jane-Sheppard, Arleta all close by).
So true on the dots thing, maximum accesibility=maximun usage. Why take cars when everywhere you need to be is just a subway away? But heh what do I know!
"All SCC needs is a diversion of the Stouffeville line. Building a subway to SCC is waste of money."
Wrong! The new Kennedy GO Stn is a close enough link. I'm against building it a brand-new underground ROW via the hydro-corridor as proposed but rather converting the existing SRT line to accomodate subway traffic (enlarging of track and stations, fortification of elevated section, etc.)
