Toronto Mayor looking to Premier to hop on Sheppard subway expansion.
Rob Ford says he asked Dalton McGuinty for transit help at their meeting this morning.
He has repeatedly promised that the Sheppard expansion will be completed even though transit experts and others on city council call the plan unfeasible.
The Sheppard line was originally estimated at $4.2-billion but was later revised to $4.7-billion.
The Toronto mayor says he asked McGuinty, and will later ask the other provincial party leaders, “what are they gonna do for Toronto. More specifically: the Sheppard subway. As you know, I campaigned on it. And we had a very, very good, positive conversation.”
The two also talked about support for child care, public health nurses, Exhibition Place, Ontario Place and permission to allow the city to sell the Toronto Community Housing Corporation’s 928 single-family homes.
