There are hills on Eglinton that are over 5%, which is the limit for the light rail vehicles. The streetcars are supposed to be able to handle 8% inclines, but not the light rail vehicles for the Transit City lines. From Keele east to Caledonia, the tunnel inclines will have to be no more than 5%, which is why the station at Caledonia is very deep, but the station at Keele is shallow, the tunnels cannot exceed 5% incline.
Aren't inclines limited to 5% due to passenger safety and comfort? I am sure LRV's can climb greater than 5%.
