This has become a joke. I know there is probably not a business case to justify the route which is why the delay is happening. There is currently only 1 person at the region working on LRT phase-2 (Hint he is quoted in the article).  It has been 5 years since phase 1 opened and they had already started planning phase 2 prior to phase 1 finishing, so basically it now take 15-20 years of preconstruction planning for a transit line in Ontario.  Consultants are licking their lips on these government studies.

People accuse me of being too cynical, but stuff like this really shows that I'm a realist more than anything.
