as part of ongoing talks about changes the Ontario PCs intend to make to Toronto’s transit plans. City staff have proposed adding a fourth stop to the controversial Scarborough subway extension, a decision that would add millions of dollars to the cost of a transit project already heavily criticized as being too expensive. Council hasn’t voted to build a subway stop at Eglinton and Brimley, and the framework it approved for talks with the province made no mention of advocating for one. It’s not clear how much adding a station to the extension would cost, but the price for some stops on the TTC’s new Spadina subway extension approached $200 million. Although it hasn’t been publicly discussed at length, the idea of adding a fourth stop on the extension isn’t new.
