Can't wait till this thing loops back to Don Mills and Sheppard. All will be at well respecting the people of eastern Toronto suburbs. Meanwhile we will treat those people out west like dirt with a lrt.
It's pretty clear to me that the station is located where it is because:I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough in my suggested ideas. I listed 3 options in my question:
- Parallel to Eglinton, this is pretty self explanatory
- Parallel to NE/SW rail corridor, the existing Line 2 trajectory to continue on the now removed rail corridor.
- Parallel to N/S rail corridor, SRT/Stouffville corridor.
So let me get this straight. Turns out the cost isn't going up - it's staying at $3.9 billion for 1 station - the same as 3-4 years ago ... but they knew they were lying 3-4 years ago when they said it was going to be $3.2 billion.
Well, good to know the price isn't going up!
I assume the big difference to bring it to almost $4 billion was that the numbers that were released were escalated based on a 2023 opening, and they all knew it was a 2026 opening.Until we find out they're lying right now about it being $4 billion when in reality it's more like $5 billion.![]()
Lucky for us then that SmartTrack has become a non-issue..... wait it always was.Remember, Brimley would have endangered SmartTrack math by sucking demand from it more severely than an alignment further east.
I don't think that finch needs to be subway. I don't think that eglinton needs to be subway. Just because one doesn't see a need for the Scarborough subway doesn't mean they expect subways everywhere else. The relief line is the one line which needs subway but because downtown is in its name Scarborough supporters lose their mind as if everyone who supports it will ever ride it. I don't use yonge and I won't use the drl but that doesn't change my mind that they should be subway. Where as I do use eglinton and I'm OK with a lrt.some of us aren't selfish. We're practical.
Sounds "fair" when you see it this way: Finch West is in-median, line 5 out west will be mostly underground. On the east end, line 5 is in-median, and line 4 doesn't even enter Scarborough.Can't wait till this thing loops back to Don Mills and Sheppard.
