Road Tolls are nice. I guess its time anyway, either that or a big increase in funding.

The report is set to be released publicly in five days, but it’s making the rounds among Mr. Ford’s inner circle. In an interview with The Globe and Mail, Dr. Chong revealed some details and spoke optimistically about the prospects for Sheppard construction, a sharp change from forecasts he was making just a few months ago.
“I have to confess that over the last six months I have gone from optimism to deflation about this plan,†he said. “But now I’m back on track. I feel very positive about it. I’m told by financial advisers that it’s doable. The private sector would be chomping at the bit to get at it.â€
By Dr. Chong’s projections, the private sector could pay for 50 per cent to 60 per cent of the total project cost. That’s up from the 10 to 30 per cent that Dr. Chong was predicting late last year.
