A perfect article from The Star that explains Tory and Jennifer Keesmaat's BS facts. Tory and Keesmaat pulled such a stupid move by saying the Scarborough Subway justifies cause Kipling to Islington has only 7,300 riders in peak direction. The article does a good job saying it's only 1km oppose to a 6km route that cost very low. Kipling to Islington can be built for $100m today while this extension cost 30 times as much to carry the same amount of riders. That number will rise when Miway moves to Kipling, a fact Tory, Keesmaat and the article missed. Plus Kipling to Islington is technically not a subway cause it's on the surface.
Tory says Scarborough is the only place in the city that doesn't have a subway. This clown clear doesn't know TO well. There are many place with city boundary that doesn't have subway and STC has the SRT. This article clearly illustrates how Tory and Keesmaat are totally bias.
For me the most amazing piece of information is this 2013 quote of Jennifer Keesmaat singing a completely different tune. Un-freakin believable.
“Based on the criteria that we have for great city building, looking at economic development, supporting healthy neighbourhoods, affordability, choice in the system, the LRT option, in fact, is more desirable. The LRT route would put nearly twice as many people within walking distance of a stop."
