Cloverdale is being used as that is what the station name will be.
Under the plans for the south side, a new GO Station and bus terminal is plan for the area of Honeydale and Food Basic sites and the land is already set aside for them.
The original plan for the extension call for the subway to swing south to Sherway Mall Area and then backup to the north side of CP Corridor. It would run in the corridor on the surface to Dixie Rd and that idea is dead now because of GO Transit.
Since there needs to be 4 tracks in CP Corridor for GO Transit, no room on the surface to put the subway beside it. Then the wrong location.
The area between 427 and Dixie Rd has been a blight for over 30 years. With good urban planning, this area will support 300,000 residents and employment jobs. By running the subway along Dundas, it will offer the transit needs for this area come in the next 50-100 years.
There is only one person on Mississauga Council calling for a subway as an east-west and from ward 5. The Mayor doesn't see a subway in her time in Mississauga and it needs to be an east-west line.
Unlike Vaughan and York Region, Mississauga is not going to go into real debt to build a subway where ridership is better service by BRT and LRT in the first place. They turn down the (Free)? RT in the 80's to Sq One.
Metrolinx has already down graded the Dundas LRT line east of Hurontario to an BRT that will offer continue service to Watertown. I love to see an LRT going to the 403, but Dundas west of Hurontario is so low density that it can't support one for 50 years. I have call for the 512 to end up in Stoney Creek, but not going to happen now. Halton will never support an LRT at all and will have a real issue supporting an BRT in the first place.
Under the Big Move, Cloverdale is supposed to be the Gateway Hub and I support it. It will allow faster access to 427 as well reduce the deadheading of buses for both TTC and Mississauga Transit. Well include GO Transit, Brampton and YRT that still to come to Kipling. It will reduce the amount of cars using Dundas to get to Kipling or Islington parking lots.
All transit Hubs, terminals or stations "Must" have development on top of them.
If TTC had approved the request back in 2005 & 8 by the ward councilor who is now MPP, the extension would be open and relocation underway at far less cost than what is happening.
The plan Regional Hub is only good for 15 years at Kipling once built.
