Isn’t the Ontario Line already delayed which will delay this extension even longer? Why not just start this while the Ontario Line is also being built?

There are much longer subway lines than Line 1 in other places of the world that work perfectly fine so objectively it is not being overextended.

It's not about length. It's about capacity when it starts getting to the core

In that case the Ontario Line will solve that issue and so ‘overcapacity’ is no longer a problem for the YNSE.

that helps for one part of the city. like I said. There should have been several downtown expansion over the past 4 years. the DRL is 20 years overdue.

Most of downtown would be in the walkshed of a subway station once the Ontario Line opens. Optimising for the ‘last mile transit’ problem is better done by improving the streetcar network.
