No one was calling for a subway stop on Sheppard East until De Baeremaeker pulled out his napkin map.
Glenn wants both Scarborough subways built, his counter to the gap will be to built the other subway. Because as gweed said, it would complicate operations to do that the LRT and lower frequencies. IMO, no LRT being built should have lower frequencies then the Queen Streetcar.To be fair, it does solve a lot of connectivity issues. A subway that stops at STC with a ~1km gap between the terminus and the Sheppard East LRT makes for a pretty messed up transit situation. At the very least, the subway extension to Sheppard bolsters the case for the SELRT being there. The other option is running a branch down to STC, which would partially solve it, but would complicate SELRT operations.
