I believe that the OP is referring to the 2011 deal between Stintz and Ford to extend the Sheppard Subway - though I thought still included Eglinton underground until 2012 ... but there were many variations between 2010 and 2013, as Ford had little of council or the TTC.
I did mean that yes, I thought that the implication was clear since we're talking about 2012 here.

Even the de facto PCPO news org is smelling a rat....another article from the sun:
apperently the government wants $8k to comb through 30,000 pages of documentsLILLEY: Metrolinx, Ford's office delay release of key Crosslinx info
The problematic transit project is years behind schedule, but the Ford government doesn't want the public to know why.
Good video and points. As much as I'd hate to blame the pandemic on the delays, it did factor a lot of the problems we're facing today. It just baffles me that they clearly underestimated how hard it would be to build under existing subway stations without doing their research. The Ontario line will be done differently as the tunnels themselves will be twice as deep as the Eglington underground stations, resulting in a lot of stairs and escalators going in.
Not happening under any circumstance. Aside from Eglinton LRT it is important to keep in her place for the North America's largest transit expansion plan. She should be there at least till the end of this term and by then all major transit expansion projects will be executed. And then if she still has the energy in her let her lead the planning for the next batch (Ontario Line North, Eglinton West Extension to Airport, Scarborough Subway Extension West and East which will be announced for the next elections campaign)

What, you're telling me there's no one else in the province capable of drawing lines on the back of a napkin, giving contracts to corrupt consortiums, and keeping secrets from the public?
My thought process is at least something is being built. Nothing major has been built since over 50-60 years. Now finally have several lines proposed with construction started for most. No point changing the Captain and mess things up further. I am happy with the 4 major projects (YNSE, OL, EGWLRT, SSE) being built around 2030 ish.
I'd be happy if we stopped making silly decisions about technology, routing, etc. Line 5 is a silly mishmash. The tunneled portion should just have been a proper highfloor subway with PSDs, and the surface portion could be a separate LRT line, if not elevated subway. Golden Mile is a suburban wasteland currently.
Line 4 is Sheppard. You mean Line 5 Eglinton.
