I would have preferred elevated. For some reason, looking at the surface route with all those arrows for pedestrians (and most likely cyclists as well) interacting with the traffic and the LRT makes me nervous in terms of efficiency of the line and it's reliability. Using the 512 all the time, that's one of the reason why most of the time, it always slows down. The driver must always lookout for cars, pedestrians and cyclist that might cross the intersection thus slowing them down.
I hope they will choose shelters like the VIVA exemple. I live at the corner of Bathurst and St.Clair. and when the weather gets bad, the streetcar is very unattractive for bus riders travelling north-south. St.Clair West Station is less than a 2 minute walk from Bathurst and the amount of people transferring to the streetcar is very marginal, and that's on a warm sunny day. They prefer to stay on the bus until Bloor which makes the service south of St.Clair (Bathurst buses are usually full by Eglinton) pretty bad.
I just don't trust the city in regards to priority traffic lights for the LRT...
