Replacing the Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) Line

"I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with the SRT structure; it's the fact that it should never have been built - It should have been a streetcar or a subway - The SRT has dead-ended subway expansion in Scarborough for over 30 years - We could have had a subway for the cost of the SRT"

Replacing the Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) Line

"Scarborough Centre is the first priority before the SRT fails completely - The extension of the Eglinton LRT is the lowest cost immediate alternative for the rest of Scarborough; then maybe replace the SRT with an LRT to Centennial College and Malvern"
