Oh, because the plan is to remove the king street car for a king subway? and the queen street car for a queen subway? ya, no one who rides those street car routes would trade them in for a subway out in the middle of scarburbia.

Some councilors on the commission jump to the defense of Gary Webster: http://www.thestar.com/news/ttc/article/1029203--commissioners-voice-support-for-ttc-head?bn=1

Steve Munro thinks it may even go further: (as others here have speculated too): Queen’s Park struck a deal with the devil to preserve the Eglinton LRT as a subway while leaving Ford free to work his financial magic on Sheppard. The streetcar system appeared safe if only because replacing it...

Building ramping up for Pan AM? An Aquarium breaking ground soon? Possible Olympics (speculation) Bid? btw: your list is very inspiring and ppl will need to keep pulling this up over the next little to keep reminding themselves.

That's old, the 2008 results from Euromonitor had Toronto right after New York (NY's number was around 7M and Toronto upto 6M) but I think they termed it as over-night visitiors. I can't find it online, but it's published in Time Out's book of World's Cities (at the back where they have all...

So what are the chances council can actually delay this thing (past 2015)? http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/03/16/chris-selley-lets-get-diesel-trains-to-airport-on-track/

...and Toronto's citizen's short sightedness and selfish interests continue to hold back the city, province, and country. Well done Roy Wright.. at 64, while you enjoy your last 5 or 6 more years on this planet, you've left a legacy of more energy issues and poor air quality for the rest of us...

Like Paris has the Eiffel tower & Notre Dame,or New York Empire State Building & Brooklyn bridge, Toronto certainly could be associated with the CN Tower & Street Cars. (or Skydome) To suggest otherwise would be out of stubbornness or ignorance.

Not sure if this was caught and posted yet, but looks like TTC has removed any referrence to Transit City on their website, except when you do a search for it and then it displays a notice: "Mayor Ford has requested that the TTC develop a new transit plan consistent with his platform. Work on a...

Utterly embarrassing... he's made Toronto a joke.. Colleagues in UK are already asking about this... "is this normal for Canada?"

Some villages elect their idiot to be their mayor. I know, sounds hard to believe, but it happens.

You just described transit city and the waterfront... 2 projects he has targeted to kill. I don't think he's read your material.

The Star's version doesn't seem to reveal as much detail and angles it to be slightly more conflictive (with Transit city): http://www.thestar.com/news/article/902716--ford-tight-lipped-on-transit-after-mcguinty-meeting?bn=1

Just read the complete article again, and this is exactly the worry pro-transit citizens had with Ford as mayer: that we "can't afford" transit. He's found a way to not only not work on new transit and funding, but also kill any of the current plans for transit (because they don't fall under...

This should not be a surprise to anyone. His transit plan was, is and always will be "no transit".
