But that means that 5% of people living in the area taking Eglinton to get to work in the morning would cause some serious congestion problems with a LRT. And remember, we've shown that Eglinton has a very similar density to Bloor, being relatively equal even when the B-D is blown outta proportion by using the Downtown demographics for it's density. If you're trying to say that Eglinton's somehow going to get a fraction of what the B-D currently has, though maintaining a similar density as well and connecting the city to the airport, I don't think your logic can be trusted.
I can't see why the airport would have any effect. There is no rush hour for air travel. Folks who work in the ACC (which apparently is a new acronym for businesses near the airport) will be traveling in the COUNTER-PEAK direction, meaning no affect on the peak-direction capacity at all.
The flaw in your 5% calculation is that you are assuming this 5% are all starting at one periphery of the line and going in a single direction, which is absolutely not the case. The highest density stretch is that near the tunneled central section, and the peak-direction bound of these riders won't be going very far to get to their downtown-bound subway.
