The whole reason why it doesn't currently go to the airport is because the airport isn't currently interested with in more rapid transit connection.
And have scraped plans for a transit hub.

Back in Sept 2024 the GTAA submitted a brief to the House of Commons commitee on Transport to advocate that a stop at Pearson airport at a new multi-modal hub be included as part of the VIA HFR (now ALTO) project. Have they indicated otherwise since then?

It's more likely that the next batch of projects announced by the Ford Government are:
  • Ontario Line North Extension (Eglinton to Steeles ~10.6 km)
  • Sheppard East Extension (Don Mills to McCowan / STC ~7.4 km)
  • Sheppard West Extension (Yonge to Sheppard West ~4.4 km)
  • Eglinton West LRT Airport Extension (Renforth to YYZ ~4.7 km)
27 km of new rapid transit in critically close ridings within Toronto like Don Valley North, Don Valley East, Scarborough Centre, Scarborough-Agincourt, Willowdale & York Centre. The Eglinton West LRT Airport Extension is just logical and inevitable as well. I don't see this government backing LRT's or LRT extensions, but we'll see. Anything is possible.

The Portlands literally needs the WWLRT to have its many parcels of land be unlocked for development. Given that the province is a stakeholder in Waterfront Toronto, I have to imagine it finally getting the attention of QP before 2030.

I thought this was already green lit, wasn't it? Aren't they rebuilding the Queen's Quay station at Union to accommodate the WWLRT?

If not then absolutely.

Now I'm not saying that Renforth station is going to beat or exceed Kipling by any means but Renforth station is in a major employment centre of Mississauga (the Airport Corporate Centre) with a myriad of bus connections already in place.

Renforth will attract lots of new riders from central/northern Mississauga switching from Line 2. I expect Cedarvale station will become a major transfer point just from them.

More up on my site.

Finding a place to park and shoot is very hard and requires long walks to do it, but not in this weather

Perhaps the Mississauga Transitway will see a boost in ridership once the Western Extension of Line 5 is complete?

The province / Metrolinx wants nothing to do with the WWLRT or EELRT and both will be 100% finance by the city if they get built with some hope that they will get some money from the federal government as well.

If they changed the design of EELRT (i.e. full grade separation), would the Province come on board?
Will the City just waste money on preliminary design when they know they will never obtain enough money from Feds alone to build this?
 
Today I learned that this extension is actually happening. I thought it was one of those mythical Toronto one-of-these-days when we get transit capital budget this might be what we build.

So when is the west extension expected to open? 2045?

Or the Scarborough Busway Construction (portion of the former Scarborough RT route). See https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/ttc-scarborough-busway-construction-portion-of-the-former-scarborough-rt-route.40885/post-2159214

Is scheduled to enter service in Fall 2026.

The city can finance both lines by itself ( one at a time) so the lack federal or provincial money will not kill these lines.
