New Streetcars

[Northern Light]

A decade later we seem to be about to order 13 (and maybe up to 47) more!

It is recommended that the TTC Board: Streetcars: 1. Delegate authority to the TTC Chief Executive Officer to issue a contract change with Bombardier Transportation Canada Inc. for the supply of 13 streetcars at an estimated cost of $140 million, inclusive of all taxes and project delivery costs, based on the following: a. Negotiation of an acceptable agreement that is satisfactory to the TTC Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel; b. Negotiation of acceptable contract pricing for the initial order of 13 streetcars and fixed pricing on options for up to 47 additional streetcars equating to a combined total of 60 streetcars; and c. All streetcars are to be delivered between 2023 and 2025.

I think they already have $$$ in the budget for 13 and they need to start somewhere! They are also trying to get the OK to be allowed to order more/
