that is a pretty big generalization to make. most people i've talked to from that area want more transit, if fact, all people i've talked to and this includes people from the WCC. the only differing opinion i have encountered is whether to close the streets. some people actually want that to happen.
by the same token you can argue that those wanting a subway instead of LRT on sheppard east are demanding a subway in attempts to get the expansion project canned as well. not that i believe that.
We can agree to disagree. I don't think all the Westonites were as well intentioned as you've indicated. Many of their complaints focused just as much on the frequency and number of trains as their concerns about pollution. Hence the demand for a tunnel. Nobody here has the same concerns or focus. We aren't concerned about pollution from the LRTs (even if they used diesel). We aren't concerned about the frequency of LRTs (if anything I am worried it might be too low compared to the buses today).
If you don't believe that any of us are anti-transit, then what's the issue? I think our record shows (and our posts are there to prove it) that those of us in this group are sincerely concerned about transit and want decent services for the city. We just don't believe in a one size fits all solution.
Anyway, there's free speech here. People can call us what they like. We're working to put forward our view and create/further a debate. That can't be a bad thing.
