When we sat down with him on Monday, Del Duca contradicted himself on these and other matters. On the one hand, he wants to adopt a regional outlook, one free of local turf wars—one that will build what is best for everyone, rather than particular pet projects. On the other hand, he is unwilling to revisit the Scarborough subway decision—a local pet project if ever there was one—even if a newly elected mayor and council decide they want to revert to LRT.
How would he even do this? From what I understand the City of Toronto and Province in Ontario are contractually obligated to build the LRT. There are no legal agreements between Toronto and Ontario to build a subway extension in Scarborough. Short of somehow forcing Council to enter into an agreement with the Province to build an extension of Line 2 into Scarborough, I don't think he'd have many options on the table to make the City build a subway project that it doesn't want.
