Toronto Transit 2050

"Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty. Think big."

 

-Daniel Burnham

-These are not all subways; Toronto will probably never see another subway line after the extension of the Sheppard line (i don't even know about that one, crosses fingers)

-Most of them are LRT lines that are right of way, with proper station spacing.

-In terms of many of the downtown core lines (Queen, King, Dundas, College), these use the existing streetcar lines (right of way).
