Norm Kelly has been around for decades but non-consecutively. His only time off from city politics are from being an MP and when he lost the race to be mayor of Scarborough.

That's odd, I thought it was the City Clerk's Office that managed municipal elections. I'm surprised they won't investigate or enforce the law.

Looks like the lawsuit about the TTC connection got the developer's attention. http://ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Commission_reports_and_information/Commission_meetings/2014/August_19/Reports/Proposed_Entrance_Connection_at_Don_Mills_Subway_Station.pdf

Planning & Growth voted to defer till next year...

Well that and they're negotiating a new one for the subway but seem to be hung up on figuring out the sunk costs.

For one I thought they got rid of 9' ceilings to squeeze extra floors out.

I know it's a grey area but holy crap is it grey.

I think city council asked Metrolinx to view Sheppard West as a priority or something to that effect. Actual support from council is probably small but that motion was passed.

I still don't get why the Finch LRT will be given the number of Line 7 when it's due to open before Sheppard which will be given Line 6.

Hell, the Scarb subway has the ridership to offset (or come darn close) operating costs.

Well that didn't take long for the Liberals to waffle.

If would be nice of that report listed the what 31 votes were used for the study. If it's on their website I can't for the life of me find it.

Goes both ways. City planning has said SRT alignment is better for development but all studies have shown higher ridership the subway. I have to take city planning at it's word but much of the SRT alignment runs through industrially zoned land that the city does not want to see developed so it...

That's untrue. Council made a clear motion to amend the MA to remove the LRT and replace it with a subway as well as to fund it. The MA is currently being negotiated to deal with issues such as sunk costs. It was also much more than just Mitze Hunter touting the subway. During the by-elections...

Correct, although after an election it's all open even if it's less than a year.

He registered today.

I was disappointed that in the newest design they removed the public lane on the south end. Moving the park to front on Sheppard is a nice change since it would be very difficult for the public to know that a public park is located within the development.

Regardless of where the party stands, Scarborough Liberal candidates position themselves as supports of a subway on Sheppard. Interpret how you want that the Liberal party platform supports "transit solutions" for Sheppard East and Finch West.

And yet the first RFP goes out next week.
