Where GO wants to invest is in cities that invest in themselves, to make bidirectional and all-day loading feasible. So far, as was said, Craig seems to be interested in being a bedroom community only, and so he gets widening of the 401 at various points between highway 8 and Mississauga, which is fitting for his efforts.
like restore a building downtown and put a library in it, build a city hall downtown, build a bridge, have a theatre built and dorms, convert traffic to 2 way traffic downtown, put those poles in the road to facilitate more open street events by the farmers market, try and entice developers to buy and find tenants for the former courthouse downtown that was abandoned, put in street scaping in guelph, spend double the budget to put in streetscaping in hespeler, suspend development fees for low income housing for 20 years (taxes too?), not collect any development fees for projects in the downtown area.
I would question how many GTA residents would commute from home to Cambridge for a downtown library, city hall, a pedestrian bridge or 2 way traffic. A dense city has more customers willing to use the service. Limiting density to 3 stories would seem counter productive.
I'd also question his anti-LRT stance as another road block for the city. [How do the non-car owners get to/from the station?]
