ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL: Mayoral candidate Mitzie Hunter says she would extend the Shepherd subway line if elected mayor.
Hunter said Tuesday that she would extend the line east to connect with the planned Scarborough subway extension of Line 2 and would also extended it west to connect to the western side of Line 1 at Sheppard West Station near Downsview Park.
“I am committing today to fund the preliminary design and engineering for this project from the city's existing transit reserve funds to advance the detailed planning and the costing to get this project moving,” Hunter said at her announcement. “We cannot wait because these are urgent priorities,” she said. “These are urgent decisions and we can't leave our future in the hands of some other level of government that may or may not respond.”
Meanwhile Josh Matlow said Tuesday that if elected mayor, he would double the city’s investment in road improvements “to save lives and accelerate Toronto’s progress towards zero traffic deaths.”
