The key was to work with the Ford plan, and not throw it away and go back to the transfer LRT.I and others have commented on that numerous times.
Rob Ford's plan would've resulted in the entire transit budget being used, meaning no funds for any other projects like the Finch LRT.
If the plan is as accepted as you suggest, then why not revive it? Why not put funding into that project instead of building a silly extension because 'we deserve it'?
Your constant complaining about the SRT shows a complete lack of perspective. Kennedy to STC in less than 10 minutes is amazing.
If I'm at Kipling and I want to get to Sherway, do you know what my options are? I'll let you figure that one out.
Elevating the Golden Mile portions (i.e. from Don Mills to Kennedy) was very feasible. We had a major who was very interested in grade-separating transit and managed to secure $900M in tax increases and $700M from the federal government.
I know Finch needs help, but the YUS extension to Vaughan would help, as would a UPE that was part of the transit network.
