3:03 Steeles Avenue isn't actually the border between Toronto and Richmond Hill, but rather the border between Toronto, Vaughan, and Markham with Vaughan and Markham between divided by Yonge Street. Richmond Hill only starts at Highway 407 and Yonge. It would have been interesting alternate history if all of the district of Thornhill belonged to Richmond Hill rather than between split between Vaughan and Markham, but I guess the then towns of Vaughan and Markham wanted access to Yonge Street.
As someone who grew up in the Langstaff area of Richmond Hill, it always puzzled me why Richmond Hill didn't absorb Thornhill. Geographically speaking, you've got these communities that run up and down Yonge Street in a linear fashion, but here's Markham and Vaughan jutting out right at the bottom of the region.

Great video! I hope the Cummer station gets built since it will be more expensive to build it later (plus the area looks like it's densifying). Plus I prefer subway stops be within city limits, which only Steeles is (and that's only 50%). If this is built, it must be after the Ontario Line so Line 1 isn't overwhelmed by congestion.

Very interesting! Personally I don't consider a 2km gap to be unreasonable at all in a suburban setting since the line needs to cover a lot of distance and frequent stops slows things down. Plus, stations are the most expensive part of a system.The distance of 2km is the same as with several other spots such as between Eglinton to Lawrence, Lawrence to York Mills, or York Mills to Sheppard, yet the extension is ever further out than those places. So I think it's fine.
@@Vicstarz26 True. But city council chose to build first the Scarborough extension and the Sheppard line. Projects are now more in the hands of Metrolinx, so there may be some more long term, big picture planning.
Though I was curious on this idea, so it’s not going to Hillcrest because VIVA BRT can cover that, but a possible even northern extension to Major Mckenzie/Wonderland/Cortelucci Hospital is possible? Seems like it would go do a two stop extension from VMC to Vaughan Mills then Major Mack. Though it being on Jane, maybe they can resurrect the Jane LRT that will be ending at Pioneer Village to become a light metro (maybe Western Ontario Line?) and run parallel or interline north to Vaughan.

I’m not trying to be a meaner here and I mean it’s great that the place is finally getting some transit, but honestly, all it really needed to do was just build a denser city like New York. That alone could have saved us from all the trouble that we have today. Lol Like the fact that a city that only has 5-7 million inhabitants(GTA) could get such a horrible traffic(even worse than New York metropolitan area which is easily triple or quadruple the population) proves that how badly they designed the city.

@@noorpagambari116 well, generally speaking Asia and Europe invest heavily into transit. Japan transit is still one of the best today even tho they built everything more than 60 years ago. But yea, liberals party is really ruining Canada, but I think they r done for sure this election.
I did not know tail tracks were 2km beyond high tech. At that point why not build an infill at Yonge & 16th? There are already so many condo towers at that intersection and tons more planned. Hopefully that gets done in the future
I think the idea is that this replaces the underground yard previously planned, because it's just storage tracks they wouldn't be able to add a station at 16th
I'd actually be surprised if it doesn't happen at some point in the future. Metrolinx time and time again have ruled that converting much of the Richmond Hill Line to an RER line wouldn't be feasible, so I imagine existing Line 1 to at least Elgin Mills would be a decent alternative.
The narrator of the video, just in the 1st minute of it, addresses the eastern part of Line 1 having long ended at Finch Station. There was a time when Finch had been the northernmost station of all TTC subway and Scarborough RT ones. For years before stations in western North York and York Region had opened, the TTC's Montreal counterpart had extended service to nearby suburbs, with the respective openings of Longueuil-Sherbrooke University and Montmorency stations in Longueuil (east) and Laval (northwest) having occurred in the 1960s and 2007.

Cool but after the extension is completed there will more added traffic by the train reaches Finch and Sheppard. There should be another North & South line located in the West end, for example, Kipling or Highway 27, to drive traffic downwards towards Finch Line 6, Eglington and Bloor line. An extension on Yonge is needed but it seems very "classy" as those with higher pay salaries will mostly get seats on rides for longer durations, Union or Bay to north of Finch.

Toronto has grown so fast and so big and yet City Planners and Politicians at all levels of the government fail to equip the City to excel. It took the City years of negotiations to get the crosstown subway to start building but then all sorts of mismanagement leading to cost and schedule over the budget. While bike lanes are absolutely important for the safety of the cyclists City needs to understand before you take away the road space, which is already limited to begin with, for bike lanes, you need to have provisions such as more subway lines to ease (or take away) the vehicles congestion first. The planning, if any, seems to be fragmented and not fully integrated and run by various departments that each only concerns with its own mandate and not the City as a whole.

Wonder why we can’t separate yellow line into two lines Line 1 can be red line from Rhill to union Line 2 yellow line to York U Line 3 green line east west line Line 4 purple line extended to Yorkdale to donmills This would increase efficiency
and yet TTC can't extend the subway from Don Mills Station to Toronto Zoo along Sheppard Avenue in Scarborough as if those are not taxpayers of Toronto. TTC is prioritizing to service Richmond Hill and Vaughan.

on the west side, they need to extend the subway to Vaughan Mills and Canada's Wonderland, this will take out a lot of traffic congestion, a lot!!!!!!!!
I really hope they change the name from "High Tech" to something else. Sounds incredibly corny. Richmond Hill Centre would be just fine, but that would be better suited to "Bridge" station.
It's "Richmond Hill Centre Terminal" on the Viva map. So... It seems so obvious. It's going to be "High Tech / Richmond Hill Centre Terminal" on maps as it stands.
It’s begging for a corporate sponsorship name. Not saying that’s good. As long as there is a local place name / cross street in parentheses I am reasonably okay with long-term station naming sponsorships if it helps offset costs and lets us build more transit.
FYI - apparently they messed up the soil testing and have to re-do all the work done the past few years (I live at Yonge/7 and see the same trucks doing the same things they already did). +5 years to this project minimum - woo hoo!

Yeah it's it's a popular myth that's been debunked. But I think Dundas Street might be as it goes all the way to London and is named that in London and in most points in between.
Line should have been there 20 years ago. Toronto is so far behind almost every other city in the world. Its should be in Newmarket by now, way out into Mississauga, up into Markham and well out to the edge of Scarborough. Toronto Transit and environs is a joke.

I hope this never gets built. The focus needs to be on subways *within* our City of Toronto. Not extending an already overloaded line. Getting on Saturdays at Wellesley station and the trains are already packed.
Integrating the GTA into the subway is crucial. This project should definitely be built and not doing so would be foolish. Every single line on the TTC either has planned or under construction extensions, along with 3 new lines being built within the city of Toronto proper. Suburban extensions of the subway relieve vehicle traffic from Toronto and make the city more transit oriented and livable.
@@maxtamir5029 integrating the GTA is not crucial at all. We have too many high density neighbourhoods in Toronto with no access to rapid transit. GO train exists to connect to suburbs.
The Ontario Line will be built before this to offer relief. And, before the Ontario Line is completed we could get started on Ontario Line North that would offer another North/South route. Also, Go Expansion will offer a lot of capacity too.
@@jiecut Ontario Line North may never happen. Also, GO expansion undermines the necessity of a Line One extension. This will be built solely to satisfy developers north of Toronto.

The city is urbanizing vertically so fast it needs rapid transit to serve it just as urgently... Great video!
They are always 30 years behind on infrastructure projects. Only reason why cars are still the most preferred option.
Like a crosstown rapid transit line under Eglinton instead of a light rail line that's sometimes on the surface which makes it slow!

I’m not trying to be a meaner here and I mean it’s great that the place is finally getting some transit, but honestly, all it really needed to do was just build a denser city like New York. That alone could have saved us from all the trouble that we have today. Lol
Like the fact that a city that only has 5-7 million inhabitants(GTA) could get such a horrible traffic(even worse than New York metropolitan area which is easily triple or quadruple the population) proves that how badly they designed the city.

@@noorpagambari116 well, generally speaking Asia and Europe invest heavily into transit. Japan transit is still one of the best today even tho they built everything more than 60 years ago. But yea, liberals party is really ruining Canada, but I think they r done for sure this election.
I did not know tail tracks were 2km beyond high tech. At that point why not build an infill at Yonge & 16th? There are already so many condo towers at that intersection and tons more planned. Hopefully that gets done in the future
I think the idea is that this replaces the underground yard previously planned, because it's just storage tracks they wouldn't be able to add a station at 16th
I'd actually be surprised if it doesn't happen at some point in the future. Metrolinx time and time again have ruled that converting much of the Richmond Hill Line to an RER line wouldn't be feasible, so I imagine existing Line 1 to at least Elgin Mills would be a decent alternative.
The narrator of the video, just in the 1st minute of it, addresses the eastern part of Line 1 having long ended at Finch Station. There was a time when Finch had been the northernmost station of all TTC subway and Scarborough RT ones. For years before stations in western North York and York Region had opened, the TTC's Montreal counterpart had extended service to nearby suburbs, with the respective openings of Longueuil-Sherbrooke University and Montmorency stations in Longueuil (east) and Laval (northwest) having occurred in the 1960s and 2007.

Cool but after the extension is completed there will more added traffic by the train reaches Finch and Sheppard. There should be another North & South line located in the West end, for example, Kipling or Highway 27, to drive traffic downwards towards Finch Line 6, Eglington and Bloor line. An extension on Yonge is needed but it seems very "classy" as those with higher pay salaries will mostly get seats on rides for longer durations, Union or Bay to north of Finch.
They should make a connection between the two vertical lines in the northern part of the subway.

Toronto has grown so fast and so big and yet City Planners and Politicians at all levels of the government fail to equip the City to excel. It took the City years of negotiations to get the crosstown subway to start building but then all sorts of mismanagement leading to cost and schedule over the budget. While bike lanes are absolutely important for the safety of the cyclists City needs to understand before you take away the road space, which is already limited to begin with, for bike lanes, you need to have provisions such as more subway lines to ease (or take away) the vehicles congestion first. The planning, if any, seems to be fragmented and not fully integrated and run by various departments that each only concerns with its own mandate and not the City as a whole.

it’s cool in a jarring way riding all the way from say spadina to the highway medium stations.
01:44 only 3 Tim Hortons?
Only 3 approaches to the station. They could go higher lol
Wonder why we can’t separate yellow line into two lines
Line 1 can be red line from Rhill to union
Line 2 yellow line to York U
Line 3 green line east west line
Line 4 purple line extended to Yorkdale to donmills
This would increase efficiency
and yet TTC can't extend the subway from Don Mills Station to Toronto Zoo along Sheppard Avenue in Scarborough as if those are not taxpayers of Toronto. TTC is prioritizing to service Richmond Hill and Vaughan.
Luckily a Sheppard subway extension is being planned, both are Metrolinx projects not TTC though

the 98 ttc route belongs to shepperd yonge station not finch
on the west side, they need to extend the subway to Vaughan Mills and Canada's Wonderland, this will take out a lot of traffic congestion, a lot!!!!!!!!
Wasn't there supposed to be a Richmond Hill Centre station?
High Tech Station is in the same location as Richmond, while the bus terminal is being moved to Bridge Station
it sound go up to steeles and turn to york university as an extensions of line 4
I really hope they change the name from "High Tech" to something else. Sounds incredibly corny. Richmond Hill Centre would be just fine, but that would be better suited to "Bridge" station.
I like your thinking people would colloquially call it RHC by then just like Vaughan Metropolitan Centre is VMC
It's "Richmond Hill Centre Terminal" on the Viva map. So... It seems so obvious. It's going to be "High Tech / Richmond Hill Centre Terminal" on maps as it stands.
It’s begging for a corporate sponsorship name. Not saying that’s good. As long as there is a local place name / cross street in parentheses I am reasonably okay with long-term station naming sponsorships if it helps offset costs and lets us build more transit.
Long over due. But when will this be done. 2040??
Young street is not the longest street in the world. Google maps will prove me right.
Needs to be extended to Bernard terminal
yes in 2100s
@@markf5931 needed it yesterday
FYI - apparently they messed up the soil testing and have to re-do all the work done the past few years (I live at Yonge/7 and see the same trucks doing the same things they already did). +5 years to this project minimum - woo hoo!

yonge is not the longest street in the world
Yeah it's it's a popular myth that's been debunked. But I think Dundas Street might be as it goes all the way to London and is named that in London and in most points in between.
Line should have been there 20 years ago. Toronto is so far behind almost every other city in the world. Its should be in Newmarket by now, way out into Mississauga, up into Markham and well out to the edge of Scarborough. Toronto Transit and environs is a joke.

Love the Documentary. However, these stations will never be opened! At least not in the next 20 years! Plans for this extension has been back in 2015! And nothing has progressed so far!

I hate it when subways have too many stops too close together. They could/should cut 2 stations
I hope this never gets built. The focus needs to be on subways *within* our City of Toronto. Not extending an already overloaded line. Getting on Saturdays at Wellesley station and the trains are already packed.
Integrating the GTA into the subway is crucial. This project should definitely be built and not doing so would be foolish. Every single line on the TTC either has planned or under construction extensions, along with 3 new lines being built within the city of Toronto proper. Suburban extensions of the subway relieve vehicle traffic from Toronto and make the city more transit oriented and livable.
@@maxtamir5029 integrating the GTA is not crucial at all. We have too many high density neighbourhoods in Toronto with no access to rapid transit. GO train exists to connect to suburbs.
The Ontario Line will be built before this to offer relief. And, before the Ontario Line is completed we could get started on Ontario Line North that would offer another North/South route. Also, Go Expansion will offer a lot of capacity too.
@@jiecut Ontario Line North may never happen. Also, GO expansion undermines the necessity of a Line One extension. This will be built solely to satisfy developers north of Toronto.
I think projects like this need to be prioritized in addition to projects within the city
will take half century to make the plan come true if we are lucky 😂
