Why does Weston need to be gentrified? Clean up Weston Rd with a proper BIA, put funding into the local schools, and clean up the slum landlords. That would go a long way to helping the area. All the above requires leadership which the area lacks.

It will be a long long time before that happens. Way too many issues in the area. Too many slum landlords and ineffective politicians. The airport rail link will hurt the area more if it is diesel. Disfunctional BIA, residents avoid Weston Rd, lack of decent retail and businesses. There...

I am sure the councillors are all nice people, but again, what have they done since the last election?

Does anyone know if any of the above besides Oates is quitting. Please, please step away and let real people with fresh ideas take over. If anyone can tell me what any of the above have done since the last election to actually improve their elected wards\City of Toronto, you will leave me...

I do not see how the ARL will actually remove any cars from our streets. At $25-$30 per person and then many times needing to take a cab or board the subway to your location who is really going to take this train? A business traveller will most likely take an airport limo since its at...

most cities are moving to electrification, and very few use diesel trains, so who would buy these already outdated diesel trains. spend the money today to electrify. think of the healthcare savings and all the benefits if electrification is done today.

you never assume anything.....

interesting how each newspaper reported on the issue. Why no Toronto Star? MOH seems to slightly altered his view, still a negative view, yet Metrolinx see it as a victory????
