It may be a dumb plan but it’s our plan. So it is that City Council voted 27-18 Wednesday to build the one-stop Scarborough subway extension rather than a more efficient, and cheaper, multi-stop system of LRT lines. The one-stop subway has been championed by Mayor Tory despite widespread belief that the plan is an expensive boondoggle. The one-stop extension from Kennedy to Scarborough Town Centre will leave 6 kilometres between stations. Josh Matlow (Ward 22) has been a proponent of a seven-stop LRT which would serve more people for less money. Toronto Star
