Yes, via the rail corridor and onto Richmond Hill to where the carhouse would reside.

Yup. +1

I've always hated this plan. More pedestrians at Union can only make things worse. They should continue the streetcar tunnel north under the subway line emerging from a portal between Wellington and King. Continuing the line up Bay and looping around old city hall would get a lot more people...

It seemed to be fairly useful before. See pictures here from 1964: http://www.gettorontomoving.ca/Allen_Expressway.html

Where will the fans go to expel the diesel exhaust gasses?

I think NIMBYism in terms of the DRL would be: "What! Why is it not in my back yard?" Or front yard for that matter...

Side of the road bus versus middle of the road LRT: Instead of half of the riders crossing all the way across the road, we'll have all of the riders crossing half way across the road. Sounds zero-sum to me.

Cost. I agree that south of road is a better idea here but it will cost more money and I think the designers were told to keep costs down wherever possible. TTC engineers do seem to be rather ignorant though on road operations. Other examples: left turn configuration on this line, Don Mills...

But the only GO line you would intercept there is Lakeshore W. Most of those people are destined for the CBD and are more likely to continue to Union rather than transfer to a DRL at Roncesvalles. 504 Streetcar users could transfer to a DRL at Shaw on your map. It would also be at Shaw where I...

That sounds like a subway! stir, stir, stir

Yes, but I think you could emerge to the surface on the Georgetown line between King and Queen instead of tunneling all the way to Dundas W. Just an extra span required at the Dufferin jog and then dive under the Barrie line. Then you're good to go to the airport.

If ridership levels are the only metric, may I suggest a kick-ass ferris wheel. :p

I voted for King St in the poll. And I'm on side with a Pape, Thorncliffe Park, Don Mills alignment. I used to think that then the line should join with the Sheppard line for an ultimate connection to the Wilson carhouse. Now I think the DRL should go N of Lawrence and then transfer to the...

Thank you. This corner of the city has occupied too much of my thoughts lately and I've modified my stance a couple times. I've convinced now that the Shepperd LRT should be completely at grade, and from Consumers to Don Mills it should be on the south side of the road. At Don Mills I would...

Free labels for life? Pull the fire alarm? Fake heart attack? Real heart attack... Seriously, I think he's toast. Stintz has built some solid support here, and has taken the high road for the most part, trying to compromise long after most people would have extended the middle finger. And what...

But imagine a Sheppard LRT that turns S on Don Mills and meets a DRL at Lawrence. That would be a pretty good connection for Scarborough residents and one that would not happen if the Subway is extended to Vic Park.

Don Mills to VP is an awful short distance to fire up a TBM. Consider the DVP crossing: http://maps.google.com/?ll=43.775827,-79.338348&spn=0.005756,0.010761&t=h&z=17 An option would be to build a 3rd road bridge N of the current 2 and shift Sheppard W to that Bridge. Shepperd E would move to...

Most of those future residents in the eastern waterfront are likely to be employed in the CBD and that's where the QQ east line should take them. The super-sized streetcar loop as proposed under Union is just plain silly and would be money wasted. I would turn it into a through station and...
