As the window to appeal the superior court decision reinstating the St. Clair private right-of-way project closes, the opposition group Save Our St. Clair has admitted defeat and abandoned its court battle (the Toronto Star report is here). Construction on the project will resume as soon as tenders are adjusted — possibly May.
Instead, the people behind SOS are turning to politics, hoping to punish those councillors who have favoured this proposal. Councillor Joe Mihevc and Mayor David Miller are the main targets, but SOS suggests that it may bring forward a list of candidates their supporters could vote for.
Torontonians who supported this project, including the majority of the residents and businesses on St. Clair, may be looking forward to this list, as it will help them figure out which SOS-supporting candidate to vote against.
