Where do you get that idea from? Eglinton, Finch, Sheppard and the Scarborough line will all be LRT's, running on the street (except in the denser portions of Eglinton).

If I recall correctly, ssiguy wanted the lines to be elevated in the very same suburban strips.

Unfortunately, if Hudak is elected Premier, we can kiss an LRT network goodbye, and back to Ford's ridiculous eglinton subway scheme that will never get built because Hudak will never lower the deficit.
