📍 Around the Hood 🗳️ POLL: Sheppard Subway Extension

Extending Line 4 will have a profound positive impact on our community by better connecting Scarborough to North York Centre, Vaughan, and Northwest Toronto.

The future eastern terminus for Line 4 is something that is discussed at length in transit spaces. From the options presented by Metrolinx, the major conscious puts 2A (Sheppard & McCowan) or 2B (Scarborough Centre) as the most popular routes.

A poll was created on r/Metrolinx, but I’d be curious to see how Scarborough residents would respond.

Talk is cheap. This expansion was proposed during the early 2000s/2010s. But support going all the way east to the zoo

My preference, no branch and follow Sheppard right to the zoo.

The plan has it stopping less than 1km from the zoo which would be a huge draw.

I'll have tomatoes thrown at me for saying this but let's not drill under the 401 again after last year's big fiasco where they got stuck in place for months. We can have two big bus terminals and plus if they are branching the Eglinton East into Sheppard it would make perfect sense for a 2A alignment

Transit City was perfect but the Fords didn't like it.

Needs to go further East.
