How in hell is it going to take 4 years to upgrade a puny little 6km transit line?! Wish I was bidding on that contract.
How is it that Vancouver is going to be building a new 11km SkyTrain line with 6 new stations including 2km of tunneled section in just 30 months and Toronto will take 4 years to lay new track? No land to buy, no inderground infrastructure to move, no stations to build but is still going to take 4 years. Calgary's new 6km West LRT line which is nearly completely grade separated using tunnels and huge elevated sections if taking just 3 years to build. 4 months I could accept but 4 years is an obscene waste of time and money. Heads should be rolling over this! |

We really need someone with your passion to move here! |
Its a Toronto thing, it always takes forever here.
However the RT closure could mean easier commutes for Scarborough riders, if our local buses that terminate at Scarborough Centre, continue onto Kennedy. Then we would not have to transfer. |

Sheppard subway partnership ‘doable,’ but up to $10-million extra needed

“City council is going to have to decide whether it is worthwhile proceeding,” he said Monday, estimating it will take between $5-million and $10-million to complete the work required before bids are taken from the private sector. “It doesn’t matter whether it comes from the city, the province or Ottawa. We need more money,” he said. http://beta.images.theglobeandmail.c...262836cl-8.jpg |
This will be a big blow to Ford if he fails this.
