What TTC project has gone over budget, and schedule? Please do not say St. Clair. Stayed on budget.
On the floor of council yesterday, Frances Nunziata claimed that the St. Clair Disaster was $100 million over budget.

I talked to Joe Mihevic yesterday.
Construction should begin again around this time next year if not sooner.
Sheppard will be done for 2015.
Do you know when in 2015 it will be done. The project needs to be past the point of no return before the next municipal election in October 2014.
IMO it's not wasted time. We all needed a lesson in the workings and hierarchy of municipal politics, especially any future mayoral candidates. Brooms and boiling pots aside, city government under Miller, Lastman, etc. was never this interesting or exciting.I'm glad to see Council asserting themselves over the mayor. It's a huge relief, but damn, I wish we weren't going through this. What wasted time this has been. Let's remember it in 2014.

Around this time actually. Which means in 2014 we should be half way there.
Whether or not St. Clair was on budget on the TTC component, the way the project unfolded left plenty of fodder for people opposed to transit improvement to spread the message that it was wildly mismanaged. Didn't Roncesvalles also extend over a longer period than originally planned? At the last regular council meeting, McConnell made a statement about major cost increases on the Union project (overall, not just the TTC part).
Funny, looking at the video of the council proceedings - isn't he the one in the cage behaving like one? Or was that his brother?
