Or who these people are?

Land owners, Engineer, Bay Street, Business owners, Students, CEO, Public Relation, X-Metrolinx personal, Region of Peel, Computer consulting, Teacher and so on from all different background. About 35 members with a core group of 15 who help in the report.

They come Burlington to Toronto.

If you were at last year Summit held in May in Mississauga, you would have a taste of what they have done.

Meeting for Move are held at UoT Mississauga related to transit, Live is related to urban meets else where and the 3rd group for social in various places.

You need to be at the event or wait until it is release and posted to see the recommendations. No recommendation on funding as that has been dealt with by Metrolinx and the Province, but are disappointed in what taking place now for funding.

Still in draft form and a taste of what to come, as well who behind the report with faces. Names to be on final release.

This link is temporary at this time

Hope members of the board will attend on Tuesday, as the Moveforce is looking for feed back from the public.

The Link for Facebook has change to https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/1602772459948214/

I am please to post the link to the highrez PDF of the official release report call "Unlocking our Gridlock Together: A Citizen’s Report on Transit" from tonight meet. Its 25m and 50 pages long.

The turn out was smaller than what we hope for, but better than nothing. The 2 mayor candidates for Mississauga were in attendant and asked a few question are well a ward candidate. A regional candidate for Brampton was also in attendant along with media personal and members of the public.

Well received by all and now to sell it to the public as well the various levels of government. From a few feed back on the report sent to various transit personal in the US earlier today, they like the report using the first person and refreshing. Highly commend the group for a prolifically job in preparing this report in a short time with no funding as well bring all voluntarily.

Looking for good and bad review of the report so it can be past on the the group. There will be a more technically report on this report to come by year end with more details on various items left out of this report as well where we go next.

The Star has already posted an write up on the group and the report.
