The same mayor who hates rapid transit and housing is now trying to suggest a GO train line to Cambridge would be a great idea...haha. I'd rather take transit planning advice from a crackhead in a tent on the Speed River but at least she's trying. They must have showed her some polling or someone must have told her to start pandering to specific needs if she wants to see reelection. Even though she's nearing 4000 years old, she's probably seeking another term so perhaps her office has been saying, look, we need to at least act like we care!
I'm happy that she specifically mentioned the Milton line - the Fergus route is a bullshit detour that nobody else would have to put up with.
But this is also the same Mayor who said that the LRT shouldn't go downtown because it's "too crowded", so I'm concerned that hell is freezing over. It also makes me a bit confused to see Doug Craig, the same guy who thinks that GRT passes should be 50% more expensive, claiming to advocate for rail back in 2017?
