I'm just wondering why it has to be on Sheppard? I'd support the project 100% if the real prototype for TC was the Finch West LRT, or one on Lawrence or Kingston Road.I do appreciate some of what Keith was saying above about letting the SELRT get built. It's a huge test for the TTC, the City and Metrolinx. If they bungle the operation of it than it's pretty much the death knell for any future surface-level LRT routes in this city.
Skirting around the issue of whether it should actually be built or not, there's obviously some disagreement over what should be built. And the Sheppard subway's already there. So why can't we build LRT on a route that we all know will benefit most from LRT, and where LRT would be best demonstrated? Sheppard should be getting a giant review to see what should actually be done. I think that it'll overwhelmingly point towards subway, but that's not the point. The point is that Finch West should be the test for LRT, and should be the one being built.
