Exhibition GO station doesn't serve Ontario Place all that well though. Its a bit of a hike.
This really isn't that concerning to me.Exhibition GO station doesn't serve Ontario Place all that well though. Its a bit of a hike.

It would be closer to Liberty Village and BMO Field, two high-use locations.
My thinking is if you were planning on a day trip to Ontario Place anyway, then you already committed to significant walking. Perhaps a ring-streetcar alignment can serve Ontario Place?
Where did you see this? Does this mean the final stop is Exhibition GO, and not Ontario Place as originally thought? If so, that's already a major improvement to the alignment.
With a PPP the government sets all the parameters and then the private companies start building with very heavy fines if they don't bring it in on time and they assume 100% of any cost over-runs. Unlike a government, there are real financial consequences if they don't get it in on-time and o-budget, none of this "escalated dollars' crap. PPP also holds the governments foot to the fire as the penalties for the next government trying to cancel or shorten it not only costs them massive one time penalties but more importantly on-going ones for all the money they were projected to make over the course of the project......…….the government has to pay for the whole damn line even if it doesn't get built so needless to say, they get built.
^Crosstown is being built P3?
I started reading both of those, immediately realized neither of them has a clue. And the poll results say, more than anything: "You're vote is indicative of why you read this in the first place".The Toronto Star had Yes vs No articles in the Opinion section this morning. Jan de Silva (sp?) from the Board of Trade suggested that this will be a single bore tunnel and an Exhibition GO stop. Not sure if she has any inside knowledge but I wouldn't bet against it.
It all depends on the contract.With a PPP the government sets all the parameters and then the private companies start building with very heavy fines if they don't bring it in on time

Where the business case supports it, P3s are used to deliver an infrastructure project or to deliver multiple infrastructure facilities and services across a region. P3s are used to build and expand roads, bridges, hospitals, water treatment plants, transit systems, schools and justice facilities.
The public sector always owns the infrastructure. The government determines when and where to build the project, its scope, and its budget. The public sector also uses a competitive process to select the best team of private sector companies to design, build, finance, maintain and/or operate the public infrastructure or service.
The private sector determines its team members in the consortium to deliver the P3 infrastructure project.
Depending on the project’s scope and size, the consortium may include one or more architects, constructors, lenders and financial institutions, and maintenance and operation providers.
Because Ottawa LRT, right?
