But there hasn't been one..yet

Congestion charge - I think we're there

Is there evidence of that?

If it's anything like Haiti - Syria (still under sanctions) won't see a dime Sorry for derailling the tread, my point still stands - bad policy for the Feds to not invest in its big cities, no wonder our standards of living are falling

Loving the double standard - what about Syria (illegally occupied with their oil being stolen), Libya (illegal war), Iraq (still occupied and illegally invaded), Afghanistan, Palestine and all those other countries seeing drones raining down on them or being destabilize? We sure are...

The city needs both - tax increase and federal help, especially for a situation they helped creating. As for the war - you can do this only for so long before common people being hammered by the economy start noticing and asking questions about why that money isn't being spent to help them instead.

I find it hypocritical of the Federal government to say that they won't foot the entire bill for the current refugee crisis in Toronto, the Immigration minister said that he felt that lower governments should also share a part of that responsibility but funny enough - doesn't work in reverse. 🤔

But we have billions more to send to Ukraine...

Better question is why are we revisiting a scenario (Sheppard Line to STC) when the province has indicated that Sheppard/McCowan will be the interchange station?

It's bizarro world really... Toronto has an LRT fetish while York Region has a subway obsession. Should have been in reverse, subway to Steeles and a York Region LRT on Yonge Street. (OL) Science Centre station will be designed to allow for an elevated northern extension to meet line 4 at Don...

All great points and all of this can easily be handled by BRT with infrastructure like Viva with priority lights operating with longer and frequent buses. Best to spend a bit more to make the BRT attractive and fast enough to really get people to use it which would still end up significantly...

They should do it all at once, get it over with then think about a future extension under the new district planned at Downsview park with potentially going south west hitting Wilson and Lawrence West for the next generation

I'm still baffled at times at how slowly subway trains operates compared to other parts of the world. When have we became so afraid of speed? This is quite frankly ridiculous

They could build a proper BRT to address reliability and capacity for a much cheaper bill than a slower LRT. Best the TTC save the money and actually fix dirty, roofless and run down stations that are an embarrassment and or more pressing matters like service level

If you're going to spend billions on a transit line slower than buses - don't bother. I don't understand this city's obsession with slow transit. Yes, LRT looks nice but people in a hurry will just Uber to their destination :rolleyes:

Looks like the government is serious about this

My first comment is "what's wrong with articulated BRT in dedicated lanes with priority signals"?

When you don't bring a dime to the table, you're not really in a position to dictate anything. As long as we're spending a fortune on policing and Gardiner nonsense while refusing to discuss new revenues tools like parking levy, congestion charges (bypassing the province vetoing tolls on...

Ban both from Ontario

I just heard Matlow supports the subway extension east to Neilson Road - WOW
