	Transit Toronto - Content: Network 2011 -- To think of what could have been.
		The per-mile cost of subway construction was rising, and proving difficult to meet, particularly during the onset of the 1982 recession.
		At the time, it was thought that ICTS lines could serve as the rapid transit lines of the suburbs, and a major cross-town line from Scarborough to Etobicoke along the Hydro right-of-way north of Finch Avenue was seen as the next project.
		The current subways continue to carry people to their jobs, and the system is recovering from the ridership hit it took during the early part of this decade.

	Transit Toronto - Content: The Eglinton West Subway
		The Eglinton Subway was first proposed by the Network 2011 rapid transit expansion proposal, but not initially as a subway.
		Once the Sheppard Subway and the Downtown Relief Line were built, then the Eglinton Busway would be converted to a full-fledged subway, assuming that traffic demand warrented it.
		The Eglinton line would not immediately provide a link to the Airport, but it would serve established moderate-density neighbourhoods in the city of York as well as the proposed York City Centre.

	The Crosstown Expressway
		Eglinton Avenue existed alongside the corridor, so it was decided that the lands would be used for a future widening of Eglinton Avenue and a possible Eglinton rapid transit line which could fit along the corridor lands.
		An Eglinton West subway line was approved and construction was commenced in the early 1990's, but due to funding shortages, construction of it was halted.
		The Eglinton West Subway, which would run from the Spadina Subway, along Eglinton Avenue, making use of the transportation corridor, was approved by Metro in 1994, and construction was started.

	The Toronto (TTC) Subway Turns Fifty: Subway Milestones - Expansion
		With demand for the subway high and with the tremendous post-war growth being experienced throughout the city, it was clear that expansion was necessary.
		Original subway plans had included a Queen Street line, but much of the city's growth was taking place further to the north and Bloor street was already becoming clogged with traffic.
		In the west it was extended to Kipling Station and in the east to Kennedy Station.

		This Subway was made almost fully underground, the only outside areas on this subway is when the Trains is crossing the Prince Edward Viaduct and when going to the elevated Keele Station.
		This Extension is the shortest extension to the Bloor-Danforth Line.
		This RT line was originally suppose to be a streetcar LRT line until the Government made an RT line.

		The commercial district on Eglinton Avenue West between Bathurst Street and the Allen Road is called "Eglinton West Village".
		But considering the amount of traffic here, the Eglinton West line is the one that should have been completed.

	Toronto Transit Commission - Gurupedia
		Later in that decade, the rising cost of subway construction and the awareness of the limitations of buses reversed that decision; Toronto is now one of the few North American cities to retain its streetcars through the 20th century, and is now considering expansion of the service.
		And in 1980, the Bloor-Danforth Line was extended once again, to the current termini of Kipling Station on the west end and Kennedy Station on the east.
		Instead, a proposed extension on the Danforth end of the Bloor-Danforth line was built in 1985 as the Scarborough RT (light rail transit) line, which went from Kennedy to McCowan Station.

	Eglinton West subway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eglinton West subway was a proposed east-west subway line in Toronto, Canada.

	Toronto subway station tiles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The original Toronto subway tile colour scheme was generated by combining a number of background colours with four trim colours.
		The original Vitrolite glass tiling was replaced during the 1980s and 1990s in all stations except Eglinton, resulting in an unfortunate hodgepodge of materials, colours, and typefaces.
		Inspired by Spacing magazine’s subway buttons and the Mean City exhibition at the Dominion Modern museum.

	Infiltration: Exploring Toronto's Subway Stations and Tunnels
		Security staff stay on duty after closing, and even after all the passenger trains have finished their runs and returned to the shipyards, the tunnels may still be populated by a variety of maintenance vehicles, including a vacuum car and two tunnel-washer cars.
		The tunnels between Eglinton West, St. Clair West and Dupont are long, curvy deathtraps which alternate between square and tube tunnels and offer no great rewards, aside from a fair number of emergency exits.
		Eglinton was the original terminus of the northbound Yonge line, and it has the track setup to prove it.

		Well they are very helpfull on the new line since the tunnels seem to be buried very deep into the earth.
		If it were to be useful it should at least stretch to the st.clair line in the west and the LRT in the east.
		Specifically, the ground conditions are reflected in the tile pattern on the walls and in the terrazzo pattern in the floor in combination with approximately 300 large scale bronze inlays of local floral and fauna cast into the wall and floors.

	Toronto Transit Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As of 2004, there are four rapid transit lines (three are referred to as "subways", while a fourth is mostly elevated; see Toronto Subway and RT), with a total of 69 stations, as well as 149 connecting "surface" routes (buses and streetcars).
		In 1954, the TTC adopted its present name, opened its first subway line, and greatly expanded its service area to cover the newly formed municipality of Metropolitan Toronto (which eventually became the enlarged city of Toronto).
		In fact, some subway stops are periodically entirely "repainted" on the inside using large plastic decals, to the wishes of a paying corporate advertiser; this is also done with individual buses and all cars in a particular subway train.

		And when there is a debate, it boils down to which one subway line can we afford to build, rather than what are we going to do with transit overall, how can we change the face of the city if there was a significant improvement overall in transit.
		The risk with the big plans -- the Greater Toronto Authority and the Hydro corridors and the subways -- the risk with that stuff is we forget the bread and butter, and that's the lesson we should have learned from the 1990s.

		In the early 1990's, there was a plan for a new subway along Eglinton Avenue West in recognition of the population densities in that area.
		While some of the improvements make a lot of sense, such as extending the Spadina subway line north to York University, extending the Bloor line westward into Mississauga, and extending the use of synchronized traffic signals (SCOOT), the majority of the proposals are just plain silly.
		Roughly 350 lines of Python code is sufficient for the task.

	Scarborough RT...end of the line? - SkyscraperCity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The way to change the line with the least impact on ridership would be to keep the SRT running while it's replacement is being built.
		The subway could use the opposite half of the square (so-to-speak), via the Eglinton GO Train station and then head straight north from there.
		What me and rbt were talking about was the subway portion, which does have "tail tracks", as well as X tracks, which lead two entrances at the sides of the central platform.

		I use the subway really rarely since I'm always on the bike and it bugs me every time when I have to walk all the way across the platform to get to the stairs at a transfer point because I forgot where was the most efficient door to get on the subway.
		We usually start near a subway station so that people can choose to either ride their bike or ride the TTC to get to the start.
