A lot of people seem to conveniently forget that half of Transit City was just lines drawn on a map for political reasons. Only three of the seven new lines ever got any funding (and one of them, Finch, lost its funding while Miller was still mayor). Jane and Don Mills would've been impossible to build as proposed, nobody ever figured out if Jane was even needed south of Eglinton, and Waterfront West was (and still is) just a small expansion of the streetcar network, filling in a gap between Roncesvalles and Exhibition Loop.
For the sake of fairness, do you have anything to say about the political lines on a map + corporate interests behind the SmartTrack plan?
I'm also interested to hear how much money John Tory has secured for Toronto after spending his entire term as mayor begging for more money. And I'm talking about new money, not recycled Transit City dollars.
