>>1029786One of the big things holding back a western extension is Earl Bales Park. The extension would face literally the same problem York Mills Station did. York Mills was originally intended to be above ground like Old Mill but area residents fucked that plan up so the TTC instead had to dig under the ravine. The subway platform itself sits directly under the branch of the Don River that passes through the area. The Sheppard line would face the same problem, we would either need to bridge over Earl Bales which you know will not go over well with the locals. Or we would have to dig under Earl Bales which would be expensive and have a nasty grade decent. Pic related is the original York Mills plan
