Yes, plus underpasses so not stuck in traffic. That is what is proposed.

Alex Cullen emailed me back, seriously, his negative points about the projets are actually positive points.

He said, converting the SE Transitway will cost more money. Well it costs less than converting the O-Train, with a higher ridership... Using Carling as a rapid transit ROW also removes the need for two corridors in the short term, so you save money there. Well he said it will cost twice as more as than the Parkway... so what, you have more users!

It seems that incompetence is finally being out to broad light. He finally said that there numbers are highly underestimated. I replied, well they're the same that you guys used for the Transitway conversion.

They just don't have a clue...


I wonder how many councillors will vote for this plan. Seriously, I'm thinking that it'll be more than the official plan.
