Getting hard to stomach Hume’s increasingly irrational rhetoric. For decades Transit not roads has received all the money whether it be the Queens Quay Spadina Streetcar, the Sheppard Subway, the St. Clair Streetcar, the Union Station Platform Doubling, the Spadina Subway or the Billions not yet spent on the Eglington Crosstown, Scarborough LRT and new fleets of streetcars and subway cars not yet paid for. The man needs his head examined for saying that “Toronto will end up with the worst of both transit worlds,” is because of Ford when the buried Crosstown LRT line was in Miller’s Transit City plan from the beginning.
Tripper618,
“Transit not road has received all the money”? Seriously? Do you have any idea how much money is spent on just maintaining the roads? Of course you don’t see ribbon-cutting politicians or headline news about those, but that is still good money spent nonetheless. True there is no major road construction in 416, mainly because there is no space for new road anyway. Out there in 905, there is still plenty of highway building alright?
I have to admit that since the Sherbourne “separate” bike lane opened, there were significantly less cars parked in the bike lane than before the conversion. But this morning there were 3 cars parked in the lane between Gerrard and Queen. So much for the “separate” lanes.
