It’s been 2,710 days since Toronto city council voted to kill the only fully funded rapid transit plan for Scarborough, and Josh Matlow sounds tired. Council voted 15 to 7 to scrap his attempt at getting more information about returning to the LRT plan to replace the aging Scarborough RT. A three-stop subway plan, resurrected by Premier Doug Ford, is still not fully funded. “We’re on a merry-go-round in Scarborough and part of that merry-go-round exists because we never get accurate information,” he said. Michael Thompson (Ward 21 Scarborough Centre) asked staff to only look at bus rapid transit to replace the SRT, removing any request to look at the LRT.
