Precisely. A blanket statement that Vancouver doesn't mind elevated doesn't cut it. It's situational. Seems we don't mind elevated either for the SRT.
But no one is looking at elevated right now, not even Ford.

There's an EA to be done still. They are supposed to consider other options - especially the status quo (which would be the currently approved plan).But no one is looking at elevated right now, not even Ford.

It seems a bit odd that the EA process was virtually eliminated for Green Energy projects (wind turbines) that result in us paying 10 to 15 times more for electricity, but a similar thing could not be done for transit projects which do much more to benefit the environment and actually saves money.
30 to 50 year of these rights from which parts of the city, I wonder? Using all the revenue tools the city have at its disposal for such a sub-par line is folly at its' best.

Yes, we should plan for long term construction of an elevated rapid transit route on Finch West and somehow link it up to a Sheppard West extension. That's the ideal solution, ignoring the price tag.The TTC is not serving T.O. by not building one subway extension, so say Chong!

Yes, A Sheppard subway would serve Rexdale residents much better than an LRT to their neighbourhood.
Let's assume that Eglinton above ground plus private financing is enough to complete Sheppard, so no tolls would be required. I wonder if he would budge, claiming that he got a subway to Scarborough as promised...
