Local Issue: Transportation

  

   

Transportation is a local problem/issue in Scarborough. The citizens of Scarborough would like a subway here to make it easier to travel to school and work.  The only problem with this is that Mayor Rob Ford is trying to use the $47 billion infrastructure budget to create more subway stations downtown. His brother, Councillor Doug Ford proposed a plan to build train stations or subways along Sheppard and Eglinton Avenue, but his plan got rejected. The Ford Subway plan has be roaming the internet for awhile now. It appears that the plan was started in 2001. It is now 2013 and the goal was have the transit expansion completed by 2015. They are still planning to expand subways from The Scarborough Town Centre to Don Mills and another subway line from Shepphard-Yonge to Downsview. Doug Ford will continue to fight for a subway for Scarborough. He doesn’t even mind if the city is trying to build more stations downtown. He just doesn’t want Scarborough to be ignored.
