I agree............Calgary and Edmonton got LRT right and Toronto got it wrong.
They are spending a King's Ransom on Eglinton yet the line is not grade separated. They would be better to make the whole line grade separated to Kennedy using elevation east of DM.
As far as DRL............I'm sure one of the big three could make tram-trains to suit Toronto gauge just as Bombardier did for the odd gauge Toronto streetcar system. The O-Train got a waiver from the feds and I'm sure Toronto could do the same. A tram-train is being proposed for Montreal to connect downtown with Trudeau and Vancouver will probably use the same for Rail for the Valley proposal. I'm sure it is something that could be worked around as these are basically just a modern twist on the old fashioned Interurban trains.
