The Missing Canadian Public Transit Links #2: Sheppard West (TTC 1) - Sheppard-Young (TTC 1,4)

The Context

TTC line 1 is one of the most stupid subway lines in the world, forming a big U around the city, with minimal connections across the city, provided by Line 2, the 512 streetcar, various busses, and Line 5 if it ever feels like opening.

(ignore the crudly drawn on line 5 and 6)

Both stations serve as hubs with several busses, notably they share the 958 express bus, with only three stops between the two.

However with both the 512 streetcar and the 958 express bus you have to ascend to the surface, which feels bad even if it's not that much slower. It's also clear the 958 express bus is a well used route, seeing 5 busses an hour off-peak and 7 busses an hour on-peak

The History

This connection frequently gets discussed in conversations about future plans for the TTC, however other projects get prioritized. A basic history of the link is as follows:

2002: TTC line 4 opens

2009: The TTC officially considers extending line 4 to allow an easy connection to the Wilson yard, it is dropped due to cost and lack of interest

2010: As a part of the "Transit City" plan the TTC line 6 Finch LRT is shown as connecting to Finch Station just north of this link, is included in the environmental review as an underground section, but is officially dropped prior to the construction of the line.

2013: The links are listed in Toronto's "Feeling Congested?" report as an unfunded future project both as the subway link and the lrt link.

2020: The links once again appear on a list by the TTC as a potential link, with Line 4 getting a "Moderate" priority and Line 6 getting a high priority

How might the link be built

Subway

A subway link along Sheppard is, in my opinion, the best option in this case. On top of providing more capacity at more predictable frequency, the line would also have the advantage of connecting the young section of line 1 to the Wilson yard, where all trains for lines 1 and 4 are maintained. This would allow trains to end service without traveling most of the highly congested line 1 and allow trains to start on the young side of line 1 (the more busy side). If we wanted to kill both birds with one stone, the subway could also parallel line one from Sheppard west though Downsview park (connecting to GO) and ending at Finch west providing a connection with line 6, negating the use of the Finch link. I think this would be the most optimal option.

Light Rail

Unfortunately this is the most likely option to be built as Ontario has learned nothing from the issues building light rail tunnels (O Train line 1 and TTC line 5 core). As well as not providing the important link to the Wilson yard from the Young side of line 1 the frequencies of this line will be unpredictable due to the fact that line 6 runs at grade west of Finch West station.

Conclusion

It should be built as a subway but it won't be and I still don't know how to tumbl
