There must be a delay. Broken record article, broken record special interest group. Nothing to offer to but the same old, industrial transfer line with a couple extra stops.
You ignore the point of the complaint, which is about the process that lead to the subway decision. A process that was highly politicized and problematic in so many ways, the least of which were lack of facts and misleading information. Whether people agree or not with the subway or councillor Matlow's position, he is absolutely right to question it and get some real answers. The subway is still going ahead regardless, but the way it came about was not right no matter what side you are on. How utterly shameful that so many subway supporters don't have a shred of concern about the broken planning process at city hall, the lack of objective evidence involved in decision making, or about how much the damn thing will actually cost. In fact your wonderful Scarborough representatives will never be satisfied until they get the Sheppard subway as well, because damn the facts. Which is why almost every single one of them voted down this motion last month:
That City Council request the City Manager to determine the priority and scope of Toronto's infrastructure projects, to be funded in whole or in part with any new revenue tool(s), based on ridership/user projections, land-use patterns, most urgent need, density, future development potential, and other methods of assessment consistent with recognized urban planning principles, and report to the Executive Committee in the fourth quarter of 2017.
