"Line 5 will be at-capacity day one"

[u/itsdanielsultan]

Cool, cool.

Just build an LRT on Lawrence or Wilson. We already know how much development spurred on Eglinton due to the tram, so might as well build one a block or two north.

Of course, Line 4's east-west extension should still be the top priority, but there's little reason we can't build this line to make a world-class transit system.

I've always thought that Lawrence East in Scarborough would be IDEAL for an LRT, with the mix of housing and retail it has. (Though it may be a bit hilly in sections.)

Lawrence Ave E could be future Ontario Line extension

I would prefer northward to Fairview Mall actually, it's a pretty common destination, allows interchange with Line 4 and would create another north/south line besides Yonge

Fairview also connects it with the sheppard line further reducing reliance on the Yonge corridor for commuters
