? To me the fear mongering being perpetuated about a subway upload is unfounded speculation about privatization and/or loss of union jobs. When the NDP flank of city council is behind a policy, chances are they are spreading unfounded hysteria about those two things. (Or they are pushing tax...

This is great news. I have no idea why that Graeme Frisque guy is so confused.

JFGI ?

If you think about it, this is actually a wonderful outcome. With these delays, polticians can say they are for the over-priced, unnecessary SSE and instead blame other politicians or bureaucrats for why it isn’t under construction yet. They don’t actually need to come out against it. The...

Wow. That is some strange logic. You can explain that to the MTO which embarked on the 410 “expansion” with the explicit intention of alleviating traffic.

Oh for Christ’s sakes. We really need to stop delaying with this snake oil company. /cue the apologists.

It’s indisputable that immediately after a multi-year long massive construction project, the 410 NB should have zero red/yellow. This project is a massive f*** up.

Public awareness.

He/she just said why it’s different than the website. When loading on the website it takes up to 24 hours for the funds to be ready for use, whereas using the app the funds are ready immediately.

A 2-second Google search finds: https://news.ontario.ca/mto/en/2017/11/ontario-opens-new-lanes-on-highway-410.html Investing in our highway infrastructure is vital to Ontario’s economy. This stretch of Highway 410 already experiences a high volume of traffic and will only get busier as this...

I’d like to know the value of the Stanec contract, who in the city approved it and what their connections to the company are. For the city to award this contract for a pie-in-the-sky project (granted, it would be transformative if it ever materialized) that has no funding plan attached to it, is...

If only the Canadian government didn’t play politics and bail this basket case of a company out over and over and over again. The free market would bury them in a heartbeat, and they deserve it.

This.

Nobody said the suburbs shouldn’t get more transit.

If a new transit sales tax means more funds that inept/craven politicians can hijack and direct to areas of the city that don’t have the density, ridership, built-form or established on-going development, then we should resist said tax with all of our being.

Fine. This doesn’t take away from the fact that 2029 is much too far away and we need to get this done much much sooner.

I’m still very underwhelmed by the “accelerated” timeline of this project. 2029 is 20 years too late for this line. Or didn’t any relevant politician not witness the chaos on Line 1 this week? We are supposed to live with 10 more years of such fiascos? If this was accelerated to 2025, then...

It’s pretty clear that the NB HOV lanes on the 410 have been a failure, at least to those that are NOT eligible to enter those lanes. Every day there are backups that magically end when the HOV lanes end. Is this the end for 410 expansion or expansion of the HOV lanes further north?

And the fake news, irrationality, paranoia, conspiracy-theorizing, anger and hatred that is rampant in this thread would make Trump cringe.

Etobicokans and Mississaugans deserve better than a streetcar that travels in the same direction as the subway, forcing a transfer that their gentle bodies can not handle. Don’t you respect Etobicoke? Subways subways subways.
