The public will have a chance to discuss what to do about the Scarborough RT at a meeting to be held in the Scarborough Council Chamber on Monday, April 24 at 7:00 p.m. Attendees will view a presentation on the results of a technical analysis of the various alternatives for replacing the aging transit facility. More details on this meeting can be found here.
The City of Toronto is also looking at ways to serve its developing Portlands with public transit. Suggestions include LRTs on Queens Quay East, Cherry Street, Broadview and Parliament. A public meeting was held on the matter on the 4th. Steve Munro was in attendance and offers his report.
Finally, there will be two public information sessions on a preliminary study about potential improvements to Highway 427 between Highway 401 and the Queen Elizabeth Way. This includes reserve bus lanes, bus bypass shoulders and bus stops as well as general lane improvements, ramp closures and interchange reconfigurations.
The first public information session takes place on Wednesday, April 26 in the Prairie East Room of the Toronto Airport Ramada Hotel, on 2 Holiday Drive, between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. The second session takes place in the Norwegian Room of the Valhalla Inn on 1 Valhalla Inn Road, on Wednesday, May 3, again between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
