With the new Roger's stadium at Downsview opening soon, this line becomes even more important. Forcing a concert-goer from Markham all the way down to Union, before they make the trek back up to Downsview isn't efficient. Not to mention that once Eglinton opens, and everyone finally realizes that LRT's cannot deliver subway-like travel times, people will (hopefully) realize why having a dedicated West-East line north of Bloor is so important.

Won't line 5 already stop that?

I think Rogers Stadium will be long gone before Line 4 is extended to Sheppard West.

Line 7 ... on Sheppard from McCowan towards Malvern and Morningside. The portion of the EELRT proposed project along Sheppard East.
It's shown in Metrolinx's design drawings for Sheppard East station as "Future". Whether or not it ever happens I don't know ... but it's in the plans. The knockout panels can (and do) sit for decades and longer unopened.

Ain't that the Eg East line?

Morningside, Neilson, and Kingston as well. We were discussing what Metrolinx's current thinking of the Line 3 and Line 4 interchange station. Not the likely temporary name for Line 7.

hopefully it ends up like income taxes, temporary until deemed permanent.

I don't think anyone should wish for that. Going by early reports from the first concert it should be torn down asap and never be spoken of again.hopefully it ends up like income taxes, temporary until deemed permanent.

Unless they pull a YRT with Purple Enterprise branch.

I think it's very unlikely for the Sheppard East Extension to have two branches, as that would mean waiting at Sheppard-McCowan or Scarborough Centre for possibly more than 6 minutes for the subway.Unless they pull a YRT with Purple Enterprise branch.

It would be funny if the Sheppard Line, if headed down to Scarborough Centre, reused the RT ROW (prob not the structure though).

That was always the original plan. And I believe what was in the approved EA.
It does raise the possibility of a future extension - perhaps elevated, down the proposed SRT corridor to Centennial and north to Sheppard, etc.
But I still think they'll go to Sheppard East.

I was going to an old book I had and saw an interesting image:
The 'Recommended Alternative' for Sheppard in 1985 showed it going underground to a station at Brimley and Sheppard then taking a sharp turn south. Then continued underground until near 401 to then go above ground to reach Scarborough Town Center.

In the 90s, the planned had morphed to a more diagonal approach after Kennedy allowing for a potential grand station where the CP and CN lines cross.
