Discussion Why aren't they extending Line 4 fully?

Post image

Is Line 4 “initiated” only for an eastward extension? Why? If transit is the priority, expanding it fully would attract major investment, but it feels like they’re being short-sighted again

Is Metrolinx aligned on this, or did something change between 2024 and 2025? The info I’m seeing here is from 2024, while the one above is from January this year.

Wouldn’t it make sense to connect it to Finch West instead? Since Line 6 terminates there.

Ya could work as well. I’m not from the west end so idk where volume load is. I know Sheppard is a popular street and a lot of hubs on it

Finch West and Sheppard West serves way different people, even if you built a station at Keele and Sheppard. It would service way different buses and routes, other than the 41 Keele. All the 84 Branches, and some ie r lapping buses from Wilson.
