The only thing that worry about is that Transit City will be too far along to change. I'm almost positive that Miller's getting booted out, but whether that will lead to more subways, I'm not so sure. I certainly hope for it, but I still see a big possibility that things like the SE LRT will be too far ahead to cancel.
In a year, they might have reached SRT future Sheppard East Station(markham). If they started from Don Mills, you would be right but since they'll be starting at morningside, by the time we get a new mayor, they could combine the Sheppard East LRT with the Malvern LRT finish Sheppard from Don MIlls to Sheppard East.
I kind of doubt that Miller's opponent won't suggest the subway instead. In my politic class, we learn that politician are driven to be in power and that is the main (almost only goal) of a political party. If someone wants to win North York and Scarborough, announcing the subway is a sure win, we all know the businesses on SHeppard east are furious over the LRT.
The city can still turn around the project, not cancel it nor should they. Sheppard East LRT is a good idea...East of Scarborough Center if combined with Malvern. Even if the line was funded by the government, the city could have chosen subway technology to Consumers if they wanted to. (lack of political will)
All we need is to vote for a candidate that will be pro-subway. As far as I'm concern, TRansit city is great, except Sheppard East and Eglinton to a certain extend althought the underground part is a good compromise with the no left turn intersections...which SHeppard east lack.
1 Billions for an extra 10 KM/H????
I'll find the other billion and build the SHeppard subway instead. (if I was mayor)
isn't what the TTC said about Bloor-Yonge renovation???
THey would rather add another billion and have the DRL instead of spending a billion to bebuild the station? It's not abount funding, not about subway standards created by clueless politician, it's political will.
That's why Miller and Giambrone needs to be out of city hall.
