so the ttc wants to add a third person; becaue another layer of admin will help.
I'm more upset about the delayed opening than the budget. Someone posted to my Facebook that the opening date is set now at December 31st, 2017. This is a line where the tunneling is complete and was to open this year! It slipped into early 2016, then to late 2016, to now practically 2018!
Yes, it's slipped 2 years.I'm more upset about the delayed opening than the budget. Someone posted to my Facebook that the opening date is set now at December 31st, 2017.

But far better than the Sheppard East LRT which has slipped from 2014 to 202?
Or what about the DRL. Which has slipped from 1980 to 2011 to 2030 to ?

If they wanted to go to a uni with a subway why didn't they go to uoft or ryerson
they already have
college station is steps away
This makes sense. But is the 2017 date to finish the whole line into Vaughan or is it only to finish it up to York UniversityTwo years is a fairly long time. I'm sure there are many York U students/staff PO'd about that.
I'm wondering if we could have an option to stop work north of Steeles, and use all the savings/manpower to completely finish the Toronto portion w/in the next ~6mths? The York Region section could be completed in the '20s or '30s.
Given that the original 2015 opening date was before 18 months of political meddling that delayed the entire start of the project by 18 months, it's hard to see how a 2 year delay is not political meddling.Apples to oranges comparison, and you know it! Both of your examples are the result of political meddling, which this extension has not had to contend with (yet...). It will be nearly 8 years of construxtion, including 4 of those years when the tunnels are fully constructed, before it is operational.
Both. They reckoned they could only save 4 months to go to York (because of extra signals, crossovers, etc.). But would push Vaughan itself for not opening for another 6 months (or 10 months after York).This makes sense.
