It's so patently silly to compare the Crosstown LRT to the Gardiner East.
Here is a true statement using conclusions drawn from the expert report that councillors were supposed to base their decision on: The current plan to pursue the hybrid option will save the people who use it a few minutes off their rush hour commute, and in order to save those few minutes, there is a premium of $500M over the alternative option being considered that all taxpayers will be forced to pay on behalf of the people who use that piece of infrastructure. How could anyone read that statement and rationally support that option?
Also, nothing is ever done until shovels are in the ground, and this thing isn't even funded, now that the tolling option is off the table. Tory has to find a way to pay for this thing. My money's still on the hybrid option somehow getting built, but it's also not accurate to deem it a fait accompli.
