Document Summary
Chow is opposed to the subway is that it will take more time, for the subway it will take until. 2019 before anyone even picks up a shovel. Lrt will cost 1 billion less, lrt will also have 7 stops, and the subway will have 3. The provincial government has an agency that is appointed to look at transportation issues in the golden horshoe metrolinks. They have already proposed a bunch of plans to improve transportation but it will cost 50 billion dollars. Wynne made clear that this 50 bil is not going to be found from putting an addition tax on gasoline. Because too many people on the poverty line. Also not increasing hst which is a good tax. Another reason is that this is a provincial issue in terms of transportation, so increase a national tax will not make sense. She is considering putting a toll on roads.
