That is an understatement.
I have been working on a comprehensive strategy for two years now, that involves improvements to Via services, and implementation of regular GO services along existing corridors in southwestern Ontario and Niagara. The long term vision is to eventually have high speed rail service that connects to the US via Detroit and Buffalo. It is based on existing infrastructure, making Via operations profitable, keeping prices low for lower income individuals, and implementing the system in stages. Instead, Glen Murray goes drawing (what I consider) arbitrary lines without any consultation on how the EA should be scoped. That's why I'm pissed off.
I'll be writing the mayors of the affected municipalities soon to try and get something moving.
As if any transportation initiative was ever based off of professional knowledge instead of political desire...
We could also argue about this for 20 years and make plans for even longer and not build anything as well, though....Just a thought.
