Transit City Plan

[Johnny Au]

Member? He was an NDP MPP during an NDP government!

I know that. However, I view him as a traitor to the NDP.

He went from the NDP to supporting Rob Ford. Wow! I would never vote for someone with such a lack of loyalty.

Mammo is a social conservative and a fiscal liberal. Not out of wack for him to be an NDPer. There are many people like that. Richard Santourum is one

So your pulling completely absurd and highly doubtful statements out of your head and you expect us to run up to the Ontario Archives to prove that the sky is blue?

I've certainly heard comments that the day 1 ridership was lower than it is now ... I've never heard anyone say that the original future ridership forecasts were that low.

If you want to have a sensible discussion, fine. If you want to make up absurd facts ... well let's try this one. We can't put the Eglinton line underground at Warden, because everyone knows that the portal into the hell dimensions is down there, and that would create more trouble than it's worth.

Kill they hyperbole. You can make your statements without going over the top all the time.

Please oh please tell me this was tongue-in-cheek. Otherwise, I think I've lost hope for Torontonians.

Does anyone know what time the vote will happen tomorrow?

council begins at 9:30 so expect the vote to occur sometime in the evening after every single councillor has made a longwinded speech with extensions

does that mean after the vote the plan will finally be finalized?? I hope so, no matter whether I like it or not. All these months of back and forth becomes boring.

At some point people will stop caring which plan but prefer just decide on one and starting doing it.

Is there an estimation of how long construction takes? This needs to be finnished before a new council and mayor has an opportunity to cancel it.

I think 2 years.

 

[Voltz]

I think 2 years.

I believe it is closer to good three years, however by the next election construction on Sheppard will be well past the point of no return.

 

[Johnny Au]

If it is constructed deep enough, any politician wishing to cancel it would amount to political suicide. Two years is more than enough time to prevent it from being cancelled Mike Harris-style.

Hopefully construction is started soon after Transit City is approved tomorrow. Construction of the Eglinton Crosstown started only a few weeks after His Worship, Mayor Robert Ford "cancelled" Transit City. Construction of the new LRTs should start sooner then that since we already have plans and tunnel boring machines.
