This week saw a flurry of activity around the LRT versus subway debate. What will replace the Scarborough RT?
What you may not know is that the extensions will not follow the same route. Look below to see the routes of both.
Both begin at Kennedy station, currently the eastern terminus of the Bloor/Danforth subway line. The proposed subway extension takes the route further east before meeting up with Danforth and jutting up to Sheppard.
The extension of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT continues on from the Kennedy station where it is currently slated to end. The extension thakes the LRT along a very similar route at the current Scarborough RT but going further west and eventually curving up to meet Sheppard.
Take a look below, which route best serves the community?
