Modify the Eglinton Lineto allow for a future subway
1. the grades are too steep (5% instead of the 3.5% maximum for a subway)
2. the station lengths (and the pocket tracks) are too short to handle 6-car subway trains
3. the angle of turnouts are too sharp and the vertical curvature too steep for subway cars
4. Use TTC gauge track (like existing subways/streetcars)

Brampton GO lineLong term cost savings compared to dieselWill allow for an integrated network of GO
services with the local systems

5. Parking surcharge on all non-residential spaces ($1.00/day)
6. Road tolls &/or Congestion charges
