The Federation of Canadian Municipalities has produced a list of 1,000 infrastructure projects ready to start in 2009. They're asking for funding as part of the federal government's stimulus program. Here's the complete national list.
Projects in Toronto:
I can't fathom why resurfacing the downloaded portion of the QEW wouldn't be on that list. Or, for that matter, some kind of Gardiner project. In fact, unlike most municipalities, Toronto didn't include any road maintenance or water system project. You'd think that new Coxwell trunk sewer tunnel would be at the top of the list.
Projects in Toronto:
- Replace and Expand the LRT Vehicles - 204 LRV, 126 Subway Cars, 36 SRT cars -- $368,000,000 -- 4,201 jobs
- TTC Station Modernization and Accessibility Improvements -- $29,000,000 -- 331 jobs
- Union Station $75,000,000 856 jobs
- Rehabilitation of 9,000 Social Housing Units -- $100,000,000 -- 1,142 jobs
- 500 New Affordable Housing units in Regent Park and other sites -- $100,000,000 -- 1,142 jobs
- Sheppard East LRT -- $360,000,000 -- 4,110 jobs
- Finch LRT -- $349,000,000 -- 3,984 jobs
- Eglinton LRT -- $1,231,000,000 -- 14,054 jobs
- Scarborough RT Conversion -- $85,000,000 -- 970 jobs
