Statement by Mayor Rob Ford on the province's subway plan

I campaigned on extending the Bloor-Danforth Subway Line to the Scarborough Town Centre. I want to thank the Province for helping me deliver on that promise.

 

Over the last four years, I have fought against the LRT for a subway to Scarborough - because that is what Scarborough residents asked me to do.

 

I said we were going to build subways to Scarborough and that is exactly what we are doing.

 

The City of Toronto and the Province of Ontario are now ready to build transit.

This is great news and a huge victory for all of us. Scarborough will finally get its subway.

 

I look forward to continuing a strong working relationship with the Premier and the Province of Ontario.

 

Moving forward, my administration will keep working with the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada to continue expanding Toronto’s transit system.
