I understand the frustration of how long it takes to plan/consult/build, but those processes have been put in place for a reason. Shortcuts become painfully evident once a project has been completed, simply look at the Canada line with small stations and disruptive construction.

That is perfectly acceptable, however it will likely look much more severe from the west side of the rail line.

I agree, however I think we've seen the end of cut and cover due to a desire to appease the masses.

That's before Crosstown line opens though. I expect that to change.

Lol. Because it is

If they actually want it to happen they will, just as they blackmailed all the transit agencies to adopt Presto.

Quite the rant you got there.

Well the whole idea is premised on it first being converted to a busway. An elevated park would be a great idea.

I'm not sure why this ridiculous idea would even be entertained.

He is knowledgeable but also have a very explicit biase towards or against some decisions made.

No one likes a know it all 😂

I think Steve Munro's word is taken with far too much weight.

But then it just becomes a Union West station and cost would jump. I have no problem with the station as proposed, I'd rather see a focus linking King/Liberty and Exhibition.

In this situation I'm sure this is true. However if the goal is not merely to get to the surface but transfer to other platforms or the PATH network then depth is less an issue.

These studies sound fraught. There are many cities with deep stations.

The main problem here is they chose René Lévesque. A minor street would not have nearly as much blowback.

And the pandemic may change his fortunes.

100% yes. If René Lévesque was massively reduced with the number of lanes to greenify below the elevated rail, I would support this plan

This is probably the most dramatic PR exercise I've read in awhile. Must be related to Google Translate 🤣

The irony of Eglinton W being buried and Ontario being elevated is not hammered enough by the Press. The Leslieville NIMBY's have a point about the widened ROW being an eyesore vs the treed cover that has bordered the rail line.
