There's a huge problem with this "plan" that has yet to be addressed by Metrolinx: the bottleneck between Bramalea and Georgetoen stations. You know, the one that the Liberals were going to build a bypass for CN so they could buy that section from them and make it all GO.
But then the Ford & Co. cancelled that plan, made vague promises that they would "work with" CN to make #2WADGO, and mentioned the possibility of Metrolinx adding tracks in that bottleneck so passenger traffic could have higher frequencies while continuing to share with and not be blocked by freight.
However, there's been no announcements on that, no press releases saying the Province and CN have come to an agreement on those extra tracks, no tenders put to bid, and we're a scant three years away from the 2024/2025 promise of #2WADGO that the Liberals made and that Ford & Co. said they would do it faster.
A plan is useless if you don't do the things necessary to complete it.
