The Ontario government is set to announce $28.5 billion in funding to build transit in the Greater Toronto Area, with a detailed plan to be unveiled Wednesday.
Premier Doug Ford highlighted the upcoming announcement during an event in Burlington, Ont., on Tuesday but gave no further details about the timeline for delivery of the projects.
The Progressive Conservative government has said its priority project in Toronto will be the development of a downtown relief line to ease congestion on city's current subway system -- a project estimated by city staff to cost $7.2 billion. The province and city are negotiating the terms of the upload, a process that is still ongoing despite of the impending announcement from the province, Transportation Minister Yurek said Tuesday.
"I just don't think it's prudent for me as the head of the council and the mayor of Toronto to go to announcements where I'm not fully informed and stand there because my appearance there can lead to the impression that I support the announcement," he said.
