A scaled-back plan for the Scarborough subway that will do less and cost less is Mayor John Tory’s answer to east end transit. The scaled down Scarborough subway would have two fewer stops — eliminating “two of the three originally planned stops.” It would end at Scarborough Town Centre is instead of Sheppard Ave. But it would also include a 17-stop LRT through five of the city’s most underserved, east end neighbourhoods, says The Star’s Kate Kalinowski. And Scarborough Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker who defended the costly subway scheme finds the changes just fine. Mr. Tory is scheduled to speak about his plan Thursday and it might be reasonable that those who opposed the subway as too costly will be heard from as well.
