Once you add context back into those quotes, I don't see anything glaringly incorrect about them.

Building Toronto
It's Nigeria. I believe they ran an oil pipeline through a housing district. They'd probably just run the third-rail through an orphanage if they could.
Councillor Crisanti just stated that queue jump lanes on Finch would cost $45 million, vs over $1 billion for the LRT, and would allow buses to travel at 23 km/h, compared to 22 km/h for the LRT. He referenced a report that was done by the TTC.
He is adding it as an amendment to the Stintz plan. If that manages to go through, I'd be ecstatic.

Augimeri just called Mammolitti a liar in council and called him out on his nonsense with a subway on Finch

Finch also could also use a capacity increase just to being its operating budget down a notch or two (Artic buses would do that). Either way, it isn't $45M vs $1B. One of those numbers includes 30 years worth of rolling stock and the other doesn't. Might be $100M vs $1B.
My personal preference is to take $1B and add jumpqueue lanes to all routes that currently have a 5 minute or better headway at any time in the day. Give GO $7B to a) fully integrate fares with TTC at TTC rates within Toronto and b) electrify the entire GO train system at 5 minute frequencies.

I guess that also saved the cost of building another carhouse for the Finch LRT vehicles.

Councillor Kelly's motion to delete the DRL, extension of BD, extension of EC, SW etc. from Stintz's motion fails 18-25.

The big vote: Stintz's motion carries 26-17. TC is back (for the time being).
Now we'll see how many of these amendments pass.

So what was Stintz' motion for the Sheppard LRT? I recall a committee to study the options for Sheppard east and report back?

They revoted on it for some reason. The result? 27-16 in favor of LRT.

Thats great news. Transit City has an even bigger majority then even I had previously expected. Any news on what time the vote will take place?

Disregard the last sentence of my last message. What amendments are they planning to make?

My God. Thompson and Minnan-Wong appear to have voted for the Stintz plan.
Moeser and Lindsay-Luby were absent. Had they been present, would have been 28-17.
