Toronto is reeling, once again, from another big development in the future of the city’s public transportation network. Last week, Ontario Transportation Minister Glen Murray announced a new plan for the Scarborough RT replacement. Murray is proposed $1.4-billion subway to Scarborough Town Centre.
How to pay for major transportation expansion projects has been at the forefront of many discussions in Toronto, and many other urban municipalities. At the Transportation Infrastructure Funding and Financing Summit, you can hear Minister Murray, TTC Chair Karen Stintz, and other transit luminaries discuss the challenges and opportunities surrounding transit investment.
This two day conference is sure to touch on today’s headline news, and facilitate an ongoing discussion about the future of transportation in our cities.
