"No one respects the front-line workers more than me."

No chance on line 2 to Malvern. York Region will get it to Markham just as soon as the Yonge extension is finished.

More than willing to risk it.

May Rush burn in hell.

A good way of predicting the future is to look at the recent past. There were various proposals starting in the 80s for extending both ends of YUS to Steeles, but it took the intervention of York Region to make Spadina happen, and now the Yonge extension is on the verge of becoming a reality...

People like you? You people?? I'm mortified! How could the DRL have possibly progressed under Rob Ford? He had zero interest in it. At least under Tory serious planning finally began before Doug's Ontario Line took over. What major local transit projects started construction during Miller's...

Those battles never end. For now, I'm ready to see 2020 just go away.

Converting Sheppard is a political non-starter. When push came to shove, no one had the stomach to shut down the Scarborough RT for 2-3 years (probably closer to 5 in real time) for the construction of its LRT replacement. In the case of Sheppard, all three provincial parties more or less...

Good thing with those rapidly rising costs we chose to build the relative luxury that is Eglinton instead of the absolute necessity that is the DRL. Thank you, Mayor Miller. Totally awesome transit planning decision! Yonge north isn't extremely urban, but it's getting a bit less suburban every...

On another forum I frequent, someone went even further and said this will result in the end of huge transit projects. That would make the most sense, but I think York Region now has too much political influence for that to happen. They got Spadina extended beyond Steeles despite Toronto's...

A dead cockroach would have done a better job than Trump.

Things could obviously be built after Transit City, but it was definitely meant to be the be-all and end-all of transit construction as far as David Miller was concerned. We're talking about a long-term transit plan. It was already Miller's second term, and it would be unrealistic to think he...

Unless you're making an accusation, who cares what they "would" do?

Apparently that's a fraud.

We should raise the Gardiner. It's not high enough.

Yonge is going to Hwy 7. Not even worth arguing. If they ever extend Sheppard, it's going to McCowan. There's no political payoff stopping at the Scarborough border.

I see a plan with no DRL, the city's #1 transit priority, and during a time when we had $8 billion available, as political. It was even more political that Miller and Giambrone cynically threw Sheppard to the top of the list because they desperately wanted to kill the possibility of any subway...

What planet are you on? Transit has always been political.

What's your platform?

A condition of approving the Yonge EA was that Toronto would contribute nothing to capital costs. Toronto also set a precedent with Spadina by assuming all operating costs. So that kind of limits Toronto's leverage.
