^It would be a monumental waste of money if the entire western extension was buried. But somehow, I bet that's exactly what we're going to end up with knowing how idiotic our politicians are.

Let all the politicians know that, because they seem to be the only ones who seem to think the only choices are 100% at-grade or 100% tunnel.Only the confines of one's mind is telling them that it has to be at-grade road median only or tunnel only or bust.
I don't think you want the line going up and down like a roller coaster.Let all the politicians know that, because they seem to be the only ones who seem to think the only choices are 100% at-grade or 100% tunnel.
As I recall, the City found the full grade-separated option (I think with 3 to 5 stations) as being the best benefit cost ratio.Yes, but we could just as well wind up with the City recommendations: Buried - Royal York, Kipling, Martin Grove; but elevated Jane, Scarlett and Islington.
Just like the existing western end of the Bloor-Danforth Line, we can have intermittent sections that dart underground, route at-grade in an exclusive side-of-roadway ROW and bridge overhead. Only the confines of one's mind is telling them that it has to be at-grade road median only or tunnel only or bust.
Asking motorists what they want, if that's what is meant by "commuters", is a very bad way to plan and build transit.
they havnt even tendered yet.....maybe sometime in 2020sWhen is construction on Eglinton West and Eglinton east expected to begin, I haven't been following super closely . . .

Most of the previous plan ignored motorist impacts all together. That was a very narrow attempt to build transit and the result is the politics we have today. We need to respect all modes of transit. It may never be perfect but were certainly getting closer to building lines the majority of people can support.

If the loudest voice was on the government side - and didn't get any traction - then wouldn't you say that the MPP must have been ineffective.^One of the loudest voices for grade sep was the local MPP, Yvan Baker. He is now unemployed. We will see how his replacement handles the file.
