1) Although the connections to GO in Mississauga won't benefit me directly in any way, it's good to see the TTC and GO finally actually trying to connect up to each other. If only they could do that at other sites too, with a common fare system. However, selfishly, I would prefer Route 5, with an extension to GO to meet Route 5.
2) Regardless if people think philisophically it should not be called a "Crosstown" line, I for one would most definitely take it to the airport, if it only took 78 minutes in rush hour. That would save me time and money from having to drive and then park in airport parking, unless I was driving there at 6 am or something. Plus I get to read the paper, check my email (over 3G), etc.
3) I'm glad to see that the downtown Eglinton segment is going to be 30 km/hr. Effectively it is subway speed for that entire stretch, and that stretch is what needed subway the most.
4) I'm glad to see the bike lanes continuing to be mentioned in the various presentations. Perhaps on nice days I'll just ride my bike along that Eglinton corridor to work. I don't do that now because I don't think it's safe... not to mention I've been a lazy slug lately.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
5) It would be very, very cool if the subway section of the line had 3G repeaters inside.
