Simply put, subways are expensive to run and need to have the users whose fares help with ongoing costs. Queen would be a subway that would have capacity and a positive effect in Parkdale and Riverdale. Sheppard does not have commuter capacity to make sense - LRTs, sure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-5705623091458780232012-03-25T10:49:46.550-04:002012-03-25T10:49:46.550-04:00Karen Stintz tried to offer Rob Ford a compromise ...Karen Stintz tried to offer Rob Ford a compromise of extending the Sheppard subway to Victoria Park Avenue. Mr. Ford wouldn't compromise. At that point, he alienated conservative-leaning councillors and started to become a lame-duck mayor.<br /><br />I do predict that Rob Ford will be a one-term mayor. While there may be some public support for him, he will likely gain less financial donations from conservative-like people who want a stable conservative municipal government. The business community may donate to someone else's campaign. Karen Stintz's?Skinny Dipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818163310102120130noreply@blogger.com
