Why don't we build new subways when the ground is being torn up to build condos?
They are tearing up the streets. Just the vicinity of your condo.
Just saying.

There's a very long, complicated, and frustrating answer to that question directly, but there's truly no good reason not to take the King and Queen, and probably Dundas, Gerrard, and College streetcars out of traffic entirely, in which case what you've got is nearly as good as a subway anyways.
It's kind of a travesty that that's not all about to happen imminently, let alone potentially ever.
Throw all the money, time and talent at the DRL - get it built by 2030. Multitasking is not our city's area of expertise. So, triage and pick the most important, which IMO is the DRL.

Anyone denying that DRL West should be a priority probably has never taken the Jane, Keele, Dufferin, Ossington or Bathurst buses nor the 504, 501 or 505 west of the YUS loop.
Why must these commuters be packed in like sardines in perpetuity while too much emphasis is being placed on building the East End? I know some on here think the Spadina Line is reason enough to put off and delay the western DRL leg; but if more people reside west of Yonge than east then it only makes sense to at least apply parity on both sides when talking about expansion.
Nice to see you around again. I think we have no choice but to multitask. We are too far behind to do one thing at a time.I kind of wish Tory would cancel every other expansion project not underway, and just get the DRL built. Finish the Eglinton crosstown to its barebones, cancel/postpone the Scarborough subway, Smart Track, and everything else, including:

9 billion - Dundas West to Sheppard. It can be done all now.Easy answer is that the DRL is primarily meant to deal with overcrowding on the Yonge line. DRL West will not accomplish this. Until Yonge is dealt with DRL West is a pipe dream.

but the dufferin bus does not go to the subway which is at the allen - it just stops on dufferin in front of yorkdaleYup. I think Dufferin leads to Yorkdale. with Mt Dennis, there's many option with which you can take the line.
There will be a shift in thinking as the election gets closer. After all, they have to sell this thing to the suburbs as well.It can be but it won't. There isn't that much money sitting around for it. Osgoode to Pape is all I expect in the next decade or so.
Didn't know that. I think the subway will end at Dufferin and Eglinton if it goes up Dufferin as well.but the dufferin bus does not go to the subway which is at the allen - it just stops on dufferin in front of yorkdale

I figured as much. How will they reroute that if the DRL goes up Dufferin?The 29 Dufferin bus doesn't just go to Yorkdale. It continues north and turns on Wilson and ends at Wilson Station.
