Eglinton East LRT extension is far more beneficial to vast swaths of Scarborough. Just in terms of the number of residents that gain more rapid access to Kennedy station. Just comparing the two project costs and benefits should convince most reasonable people that the subway extension cost is excessive for the perceived (not even real) benefits. The LRT network they could build criss-crossing Scarborough (I'm thinking Sheppard, Lawrence, Eglinton, Kingston Rd, Markham and throw in Kennedy just for fun) is such a missed opportunity if you look at it from a perspective of how to spend $3B on transit in the former suburb.
