This will be squashed by council in March.. Just more politics to keep Transit City on life support for a couple more months.
What will be squashed?

Huh....This whole vision/fantasy of having a bunch of proposed above grade LRT lines running all over the city.
"I was out in Scarborough over the weekend; people came up to me and said they want subways. That’s it."
Rob Ford on his unique approach to transit planning.
The lesson here: the next time you see Rob Ford on the street, don't ask him for spare change or a subway token, ask him for an entire subway system. He will give it to you.

AG -- I absolutely cannot understand how anyone can drive from Celestica to the power centre alley beyond Eglinton and O'Connor and say that you need to bury any transit on that stretch. It's way, way more appropriate for surface transit than anywhere else being proposed/implemented in the city. What, other than a fetish for below grade transit, makes this a place for anyone to pick a fight?
I dont know if its a fetish, thats what big citys do
Anyone in their right mind... in the middle of January/February would rather ride an underground rail system
I dont know if its a fetish, thats what big citys do, they build underground transportation systems.....Toronto is past being, Portland, Pittsburgh or Minneapolis
Anyone in their right mind... in the middle of January/February would rather ride an underground rail system than above ground, especially that run from O,Connor to the Town Centre. That is one windy cold area to be waiting for a streetcar (i guess LRT)
Paris is much larger than Toronto, and is building LRT in it's suburbs, where it's not practical to expand the metro. It's a sorry excuse saying that big cities build underground. And no city would be foolish to build underground in a valley.
