There are some advantages to such an alignment ... it's frequently quicker to take the subway in that direction than drive, even in good traffic. But Crescent Town, on the very edge of that curve, is hardly an example.It serves Crescent Town on a diagonal alignment. One can see the advantage of such an alignment, regardless of whether or not it was planned to serve Crescent Town originally.
The disadvantage is that it fails to serve the denser developments on Danforth Avenue or Danforth Road, and rather than serve the local community becomes a much more suburban type express system.
