I went to several offices of downtown councillors and was greeted with blank stares and attitudes of indifference when I mentioned the DRL. It's infuriating, so if anyone is put off by my attitude in this forum it's been affected greatly by this experience and my disappointment that CodeRedTO is focusing on Transit City rather than the DRL, which I believe is essential to our subway network.
This part I think I can agree with. I think the subways are the backbone of the system and should be built first. Transit City would look a lot more appealing if the DRL was already there.
I am aware that Jack Layton was opposed to the 1980's version of the DRL - not so much the alignment, but the philosophy that it will encourage growth downtown and it should occur in the boroughs instead. It could be that his influence still exists on the downtown Councilors.
