Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

ROFL.
Nothing to say, Only laughter. Also tears at the thousands of comments that will have to be waded through over this nonsense over the next five years.
 

"While earlier this week the premier billed the plan as an $28.5 billion investment, the government clarified that Ontario would contribute just $11.2 billion, which it said exceeded its election pledge to spend $5 billion on Toronto subways. The federal government, Toronto, and York Region would be asked to make up the rest of the $28.5 billion."

How is this any different than other transit plans?

I thought the whole point of of this was to move things forward. If they're only contributing about 1/3, then it's still heavily dependent on other levels being on board.

Seems like their funding will go straight to projects appealing to their base (SSE) while the rest will be up for debate.

It's still politics as usual.
 
From article at The Star:

The Ontario line would use smaller trains than TTC subways that could be driverless, and could run on elevated tracks on parts of the route, including crossing the Don River. The government said that although the trains would be smaller, the line would “have similar peak capacity” as the TTC’s existing Line 1 subway.

 
Extending the line to Ontario place is dumb. As is trashing years of design work. Glad it has a funding commitment up to Eglinton, though
 
I don't totally hate this plan.

It looks like are making DRL/Ontario line the priority. That a good thing.

Don't really understand how or why it needs to head to Ontario Place.
