Do you have a link for the maps that are released today?

Why not have it run north on Brimley. It's far better suited for subway than Mc Cowan as we could still have it trenched until it reaches north of Dorcot Ave. The only benefit Mc Cowan has is that it can directly serve Scarborough General Hospital. My idea behind is to give Scarborough Centre 2...

Do you mean the intersection of Midland and Stansbury Cres? From my understanding looking at it from Google maps I think we are mostly talking about backyards, except for 1 or 2 houses. Basements are usually located in the footprint of the house. Also, I notice there is also a plaza south of...

My hat goes out to you for trying to present a sane point of view. There are very few members like you. Unfortunately, there are many of those who just don't seem to get it . They seem to think its okay to behave like petty children. What is becoming of our world? You kept your cool and I solute...

I have a feeling that will be the biggest transit issue alongside the Stoufville line portion of Smart track. Most likely it is to act as a compromise to either Ford or some right wing rival candidate. Let us wait and see as time unfolds

It can be done if you read this publication. http://rrr.transport-action.ca/PDF/GTHARRR-7.pdf Not only can it be done, it can also be extended into Boxgrove and Locust Hill neighborhoods of Markham There many be a station there in the near future. I don't Tory's current proposal is final yet...

Because the curve between Midland and Ellesmere stations on the SRT is too tight. I read a report some time ago detailing that the newer Mark II cars wouldn't fit. They would have to rebuild the curve and as a result they would have to close both stations

I know, to me it just doesn't make any sense. It defeats the very purpose of express rail. One would think that building more stations along a subway line would make sense as a subway is supposed to have dense stop spacing, while express is supposed to stop at key nodes. It seems to me that...

I checked it too. It's about 6.8 km. Too long of a distance between subway stations to be effective as a subway service.

When you say configuration, do you mean they will have to shutdown Kennedy station and rebuild it in a different alignment? If so, this is my concern. Because Kennedy is the terminus for the Line 2 and because so many bus routes terminate there as well, it is just too important of a station to...

I appreciate your feedback TigerMaster. There are problems with this proposal both logic and political. Logical The distance between Kennedy station and Scarborough is just too long to at 6.8km. By eliminating Sheppard East station, you have created a huge bottle neck north of the 401 as too...

There seems to be double standards these days. I find it very interesting that they are fully willing to support a $3.5 billion (including the recent cost overruns) subway to Vaughan, yet they look for every opportunity to crap on the Scarborough subway. My hope is that some Councillors will use...

Not sure if this was already posted on the forum, but I think this is a bold idea worth exploring. How physically separating the Yonge Subway from the University-Spadina and have the two lines meet at Union. This should result in Union Station being a stacked subway station similar to St...

I would suggest separating both the Yonge and University-Spadina lines separated at Union, I believe this would be the best solution to solve the relief line problem. Under this proposal, trains operating on University-Spadina line continue east up Front St to King/Jarvis serving St Lawrence...

I don't think the DRL will completely die off. Looking at the proposed Smart Track maps, I see it as equivalent to the DRL. It may not be an underground subway, but any transit expansion is better than no transit expansion. Both Smart Track and DRL have a similar purpose, to relief congestion on...

To help boost ridership on the Richmond Hill line, why not alter the routing of that GO Line. Have it go through Leaside (also a stop connecting to the Eglinton Crosstown), Don Mills neighborhood, then reconnect with rest of the line with a station at York Mills and move Oriole Station so it...
