Well yeah but investing the cultural industries whether it's in Niagara or Toronto has spin-off effects for the rest of the province.

The revenue generated would drastically boost the economy, so it's not just about "supporting the arts"

Yes but we'd need funding from the province for such a big investment, no?

While this is great, I feel like Doug ford could really be investing more into the Port Lands as a strategic site for tourism, culture and recreation. It's arguably an even more compelling investment - would enhance Toronto's night, cultural and entertainment economy and is going to be anchored...

Just emailed them!

Lovely thanks for this. An ambitious yet needed plan!

Super! Let's see some midrises and multiplexes next!

This still has to be voted through council next week though. Are you guys optimistic?

I think we have an opportunity to justify building a line 7 subway in toronto, ensuring that through this line we build transit-oriented communities (something scarborough needs more of). I am not sure a BRT would be enough alone capacity wise if we were also going to go the urbanism route.

I hear you. I selfishly really wanted Scarborough to have a proper rail line.

With the fiasco with Line 6, what do you guys expect might happen to this line? Will the TTC be pushed to build a subway? BRT? Elevated LRT line? What do you guys think.

I'm just so happy we are starting to have these conversations about signal priority for LRT...AND Streetcars. Never would have thought we'd be able to make enough noise for this but here we are with council and the mayor flagging it.

either you're being sarcastic, or I am really confused. Heck, doesn't matter.

Yeah but they added new ones in when the extension to Vaughan went in so I figured they'd do the same with eglinton and finch

Got it, thanks.
