There's a popular discourse on-going at this time on how (gist) "Taxis were needed to be allowed for this to pass the mettle of Council"...except that's not what the voting record shows. It was only *after* the measure to approve the plan was overwhelmingly approved that Tory then added on the proviso (slammed in the wedge) for taxi exception.I was annoyed/not surprised in the last TTC Board meeting that more than one Councillor board member was probing the head of Transportation about accomodating taxis, as in "we should be doing more for taxis". When you're in a TTC Board meeting, you should be wearing your 'advocate for transit' hat, and save non-transit advocacy for council meetings.
Something is beyond curious as to why that motion passed so overwhelmingly. Methinks a deal was made in-camera prior to the initial vote.
