That's like the 1 thing I don't say, lol. Too much of a run-on name, much simpler to just say line 1.

Who knows. The process has been as opaque as coal.
I can't think that once Line 10 is operating, that TTC would have another Line 10. I also don't think any of us will live long enough to be worried about that issue, within the TTC operating area.
Even the roundel/fonts are very similar.

It sounds like someome decided "their" project should have a nice round number. Expect the next few routes to be Lines 20, 25, etc. And of course there will never be a Line 13, just like the building I live in does not have a 13th floor.

I should have added, it doesn't matter whether line numbers of projects built in our lifetimes, ever reach 10 or greater. There are 10 proposed projects, planned projects, and even started-but-fill-in-the-hole projects for every one that actually gets done. We can assign numbers to all of them.

If Doug is still around, I'm sure they're name Line 3 the His Worship Rob Ford Memorial Line.

It's Line 10 because Hurontario Street was traditionally known as Highway 10. In older parts of Mississauga, you will still see and hear references to said highway despite it no longer existing in the city.

I think the only reason Hurontario is numbered 10 is for to be cute and match the old "Highway 10" designation. Which I get, but also kind of hate.

With 5 & 6 taken, and 7 being the EELRT, that leaves only 8 & 9... weren't there at least a couple more lines in the works/hypotheticals that could use those 2 numbers? Maybe like the Waterfront LRT?

The waterfront lrt is part of the TTC streetcar network and will probably have a 500 series number to match it.

And is also a number high enough not to interfere with TTC's lines in the foreseeable future. Hopefully by the time TTC has a 10th line, Line 2 and Perhaps line 5 and Line 6 or branches will intersect Line 10. And save us the silliness such as Seoul Line 1 having intersections with Seoul Line 2 (at least thrice) and both Incheon Line 1 and Incheon Line 2.
Yeah, one day it may be a problem.
And Line 11! Problem solved.

Cool.
Too late to worry about now, but are there provisions to continue to use the west leg of Thorncliffe Park Drive under the station? Ultimately, I'd think it should provide connectivity to the industrial area to the north, especially as that area changes in the future. Both for vehicular connections, and connections to the subway station itself.

Thorncliffe Park Drive will be a dead end at TOC and the OMSF storage yard. Banigan Drive is being reconnected to Overlea Blvd via a Leaside Park Drive extension.
This plan isn’t conveyed well in the new render so that may be subject to change.

No, that portion of Thorncliffe Park Dr will be replaced with an extension of Leaside Park Dr that is now under construction to connect with the portion of Banigan Dr that will remain
