MODS: Maybe change thread title to Yonge Tomorrow??

Or Yonge 2050?

 

[goodcitywhenfinished]

I reported earlier that the money in the budget to deliver Yonge Tomorrow is light.

Are staff confident they will find it? Hmmm

Out to tender:

I've been examining how the current capital budget is structured.

I'm not letting any cats out of bags........there is a bunch of money that will be freed up and reallocated from the upload of the Gardiner/DVP; for reasons I don't understand, the new deal notwithstanding, the current
budget does not reflect that change.

Now, how that money will be allocated is a different question.

But there's a lot of it; worth saying, if Council passes the recommendation of the budget committee, we will see a report in July reflecting the reallocation of resources.

I'm somewhat irritated that this budget does not show that.............

The City's capital funding process is maddeningly opaque at times lol.

Somewhere DMW is still insisting that there are more cars in this part of Yonge than pedestrians lol

It’s nuts this thread started back in 2007 and absolutely nothing has been done.
