Not that any other project can receive immediate funding given the state of development but SOGR is usually not in any politician's menu because there is no ribbon cutting.

With what's going on in Montreal, I see no reason why Toronto just publicly ask Ottawa for 50% of Dundas West to Don Mills Station.Anything then Dundas West to Don Mills Station via Downtown will be a disappointment and a slap to the face of Torontonians. Everyone, tell your councillor that you want the full line submitted to the Feds all at once!!! Up to 50% of the tab....Don't miss the boat Toronto
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Friday that Toronto will receive up to $840 million for transit out of $3.4 billion in transit money announced in March's federal budget.
Trudeau said while the money "won't solve every funding challenge the TTC is facing" the announcement is unique in three ways:
- Toronto will receive the money this year.
- The federal government will fund up to 50 per cent of cost of the projects.
- How the money will be spent is up to the city, not Ottawa.

Dundas West to Don Mills would take about 20 years to build as a subway. We have more pressing needs
Was hoping for eglinton west to the airport funding.

Uhhhh, you may want to check the 5 and 10 year budget forecasts....
The TTC is tentatively scheduled to start working on a new signal system for the B-D in something like 2019 - basically as soon as the YUS resignalling is completed.

I'll bite. What needs are more pressing than DRL?Dundas West to Don Mills would take about 20 years to build as a subway. We have more pressing needs
and maybe pay for the raccoons who ride TTC a ticket!Hope most of the money will be spent on wages and pensions for the hardworking members of the TTC union. Our transit wouldn't be possible without them. They should be paid much more than they are now.
