Origin
(February 12, 2015) Member Motion from Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti, seconded by Councillor Jim Karygiannis
Summary
City Council on February 10 and 11, 2015, referred Motion MM3.2 to the Executive Committee.
Toronto is considered a World Class City and our current transit solutions do not fully reflect that status. In 2013, Council confirmed its support for the Scarborough Subway, thus proving there is a desire in this City for more subway lines. Finch Avenue West is an important corridor in Toronto's industrial pocket and the currently proposed LRT line for that corridor is not wanted by a majority of the residents and businesses in that area. This item is urgent as the debate on transit is ongoing amongst the residents of the City of Toronto and a resolution must be provided as soon as possible.
