Don’t Leave Scarborough Residents on the Bus: It’s Finally Time to Move Forward with the Light Rapid Transit Plan That Will Provide More Service, for Fewer Dollars, and Can Be Up and Running Sooner
Background
The Light Rapid Transit was approved, funded, and shovel-ready when it was cancelled in 2013 for a subway that was designed on the back of a napkin. Since that time there have been many different plans and promises to deliver a subway, but Scarborough residents are no closer to being delivered transit than they were seven years ago.” “The 7-stop Scarborough Light Rapid Transit would provide more service, for fewer dollars, and can be up and running sooner. It’s finally time for City Council to make the right decision to serve Scarborough residents

Item Description
This [item] requests the Province of Ontario to build more transit sooner by moving forward now with the 7-stop Light Rapid Transit, through Scarborough Town Centre to Sheppard, and use the funds saved by switching from the subway to support the Eglinton East Light Rapid Transit to Malvern to ensure that rapid transit is provided to Scarborough residents.
