Four years? Has there been any detailed plans (like engineering) done at all for a subway along that particular line? Four years sounds pretty unrealistic time frame to build something like this from start to finish. Let alone something that isn't even funded yet and is going to costs oodle more then the transit plan that now exists for that route.
Forgive me I haven't read these threads in detail or much about it in detail but has Ford even talked about where the $$$ is supposedly going to come for the changes he wants? I'm assuming he's promising to somehow pull this off without any new taxes etc etc. The money pulled from the 'gravy train' maybe? I know this whole thing is about much more then money but I'd really like to know where the "Ford is awesome' peeps think it's going to come from. The only thing I've heard so far is some airy notion that more then what has already been promised will come from the Feds or the Province which in the case of the Cons and their political motivations could happen. My reply 'oh I see you have no problem taking more from other people then' didn't go over very well. That was my selfish gene speaking there. I'll admit it. Regardless this money for this great and wonderous project has to come from somewhere. There's no magic money tree.
