Ratepayers ask a subway in the sky on yonge. Engineer Bob Maksymec explains a long map of the Yonge St. subway extension submitted before the Metro transportaion committee today at City Hall by the York Mills Heights Ratepayers Association. It calls for the subway to be elevated and run up the centre of Yonge St. so that no property owners would have their land expropriated. It also propose that the subway be enclosed in places where noise would disturb residents. In foreground is model of TTC route.

The subway marches on-but where to? The Yonge St. subway is on the move; but the big question now is how far will it go? This picture; looking south on Yonge; shows construction equipment ripping into ground at York Mills. Metro Council will meet next week to decide whether the subway should go as far north as Sheppard; at a cost of $79 million; or about a mile farther to Finch; at an extra $27 million. Council is dickering for provincial subsidy.

Women travel alone on late-night subways in Metro; and a high-ranking police officer says it's safe. But the Toronto Transit Commission; which discussed a bus hijacking and a knife attack in a closed session yesterday; will not realse statistics on whether crime has increased in the transit system. Despite a growing list of solutions; few officials will say there's a problem. Publicity would encourage violence; TTC chairman Karl Mallette says.
