Matlow doubts value of Scarborough subway

Josh Matlow (Ward 22) may or may not like a fight but he is correct to raise the many disturbing issues surrounding the Scarborough subway. His plan is widely construed in the media as a challenge to the mayor and so it may be. Tuesday (February 10, 2015) Matlow will be getting answers to vital questions of how much money the city will waste if it builds Rob Ford’s full out subway and whether the traffic that will board the subway can possibly justify its cost. These questions were put in a compelling light by the former chief general manger of the TTC in a Toronto Star column some weeks ago. Michael Warren was the Andy Byford of his day and he knows something. He contends the subway is lousy value for money and is being pushed forward by Mayor Tory and Premier Wynne for thin political expediencies.  David Nickle, City Centre Mirror  R. Michael Warren
