ION is probably more like St. Clair than Eglinton there, to be fair.

She should have been mayor. What a loss to the city that she is no longer in charge of the planning department!

Note that the amount of money being wasted on burying the western extension of the Eglinton line is enough to pay for an entire LRT line (Sheppard east, or one of the other LRTs in Scarborough; but of course the money being wasted on extending the Danforth line is also enough to build a couple of LRT lines). Or as she points out, a stunning amount of affordable housing, or any number of other projects that are way more worthy than burying the western extension of the Eglinton line.
