Two most cost-effective alignments for the Scarborough Subway Extension
BILLIONS OF TAXPAYERS’ DOLLARS TO BE SAVED
Scarborough Subway Extension SSE
re-routing the SSE along the existing
Scarborough RT right-of-way, with most of the route above ground, would save $3
billion or more
the most recent projected cost of the current plan
for the SSE 6.2 km route is $5.5 billion because it is being tunnelled
early City of Toronto studies concluded that
routing the SSE along the existing RT R-O-W was entirely feasible
the RT R-O-W route was rejected since it would
compete with Smart Track
Smart Track has since been absorbed by GO Transit
a new GO Station will not be needed if the RT
R-O-W is used for the SSE, along with the existing six RT Station stops from
Kennedy to McCowan
re-routing the SSE along the existing
Scarborough RT R-O-W will save billions of taxpayers’ dollars, which can be
used to extend the Eglinton LRT to the University of Toronto, Scarborough
for several years now, City of Toronto property
tax bills include a cost for the SSE
