The City will be for the operating expenses of the Transit City LRT lines.

Gross operating expenses of ECLRT, FWLRT, SELRT will be $214 Million per year, to be paid by City of Toronto. Some of this will be offset by not having to run buses on those routes.

Net financial impact of ECLRT is $39 Million per year.

Crosstown West won't begin construction until at least 2021.

Well we knew the province was broke. This is still annoying however.

At least Eglinton can probably pay for itself.

Well not really, considering the city paid for the operating costs for similar types of transit elsewhere. If there is a reversion to the province paying for a share of the operating, it should be more universal approach instead of on a line by line basis.

Yipee! They're cutting the useless Renforth Drive (not to be confused with Renforth Gateway), Rangoon and Russell/Eden Valley stops. I would have kept the East Mall though. Now if only Lloyd Manor, Wincott and Mulham would get the axe; then we'd have a true subwaylike service on Eglinton West.

Capital cost estimate to the city for Eglinton West SmartTrack LRT is $2B. That number assumes that Mississauga and others will contribute.

Specifically, the GTAA. All I can say is 'good luck!' As Matt Elliott pointed out on Twitter, remember that GTAA actually imposed a $2 parking levy on UPX fares?

This Tweet by Matt is the best summary of what ST has become.

"SmartTrack (noun): a John Tory initiative in which Toronto volunteers to pay for large parts of a provincial transit project."

If GTAA and Mississauga don't want to pay for the airport connection, then we don't build it. Terminate it at Renforth Gateway. Simple.

When do we get more information of Crosstown East?
