Now the election are over with Lib's in power, time to do some house cleaning at Metrolinx/GO Transit starting with the CEO and those who run these project.
Was in Burlington and reading the update notice and couldn't believe what I was reading as well seeing. The new Burlington station and bus terminal will not be ready until spring of 2015 due to the harsh winter we had.
Who every did this notice, who authorize it, who is running this project, should be shown the door, as this is a station, not an office tower. If it opens in the spring of 2015, that will be 2.5 years since work started on it, yet a mile away, a 14s apartment building that started a year after the station or so, will be completed this fall.
The roof is still not on this station, considering it should have been months ago and saw very few workers on site.
Even the West Toronto Diamond that had issues with the weather 100% went into service 2 months late, otherwise would been on schedule. Totally a joke and this is no small contractor doing the work.
Clarkson is still far from completion and carrying the standard 1+ year behind schedule torch. Other than the Georgetown-Kitchener Corridor expansion, I can't think of a GO/Metrolinx project that has come in on time or sooner. Everyone has been at least 6-18 months late.
Lets hope Wynne appoint someone for MTO who will force Metrolinx to clean up its act and start bring projects in on time and budget, otherwise she gone in 2018. I was told by someone of a comment made by the CEO and its either the standard BS he says in dealing with hot potatoes items or it really shows how little he knows about his system. I expect both and time he grows a backbone and move on.
