The Toronto Star has a a good report today about the aging Scarborough RT and the possible extention of the subway to York University. The Globe and Mail also wrote about it. Residents of Scarberia were gathered together this week to discuss what to do with the RT as it hurtles towards its expiry date of 2015. Bus lanes? A new light rail line? Streetcars? It also became clear that participants were not concerning themselves with the University-Spadina line. As one resident at the meeting said, “I don’t really care about that.” Others are arguing that Toronto can do both lines at one time. All of this is hypothetical since the TTC is starved for cash, and the only sure thing is a report from TTC consultant Richard Soberman expected in the spring that will outline the most realistic options.
