Some councillors, however, are expected to ask the Scarborough subway plan be scrapped in favour of the light rail line originally planned to service Scarborough instead. The transit plan on the table today, he says, provides a meaningful step forward for transit in the city and for frustrated residents. Mayor John Tory's message to city council as a high-profile transit debate got underway on Wednesday was clear: "We cannot accept further delay." Tory says the city has a comprehensive transit plan in place and hopes councillors will back what's on the table this afternoon. Earlier today, TTC Chair Josh Colle said he supports Tory's plan, but cautioned: "I can never predict what council will do."
