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. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Star has a a good report today about the aging Scarborough RT and the possible extention of the subway to York University.
