TORONTO - There’s one thing that can be said with certainty about the GTA transit policies put forward by the three provincial leaders: The Scarborough subway is still on track.
There were ramblings from Metrolinx CEO Bruce McCuaig in the May edition of Toronto Life that he’d prefer to see light rail in that part of Scarborough and mayoral candidate Olivia Chow has vowed to scrap the subway line in favour of an LRT if she wins October’s municipal election.
However, all three party leaders say they have no plans to derail the $3.5-billion (including inflation) subway plan — on which $40,000 has already been spent by the TTC to get a team assembled and to prepare for the consultation process.
“We’ve heard from many in Scarborough that it is the preferred transit option for the residents of Scarborough ... We are definitely continuing with that process,†said Natheen Shan, the NDP candidate in Scarborough Rouge River.
