But do you actually think just because the budget passed it would be implemented? Like the funding for the Finch LRT and Sheppard LRT which i think was suppose to be up and running this year. Do you see anything on those routes?
Finch LRT was not supposed to be up and running, and the Rob Ford election to mayor is what killed the Sheppard LRT. Sheppard LRT was entering construction when Rob Ford came to power and the grade separation at Agincourt GO was created as part of that project. Blame the province for not shoving transit down the city's throat if you prefer, but I think that the province should heed to the wishes of municipal government for transportation spending that is entirely within a single municipality. If it is transportation that crosses boundaries then at least one of the two municipalities should be supportive. I don't think the province should support shoving LRT down Hamilton's throat if they don't want it for example. The province provided the funding promised, and the city rejected the project.
