Mayor's transportation vision of Toronto must be stopped
Miller is no visionary. Miller is going to cause irretrievable harm to downtown Toronto. Miller, if allowed to go unchallenged, will cause problems that will cost future generations of Torontonians billions of dollars to correct.
Do people really believe Miller's reasons for tearing down the Gardiner, installing streetcars tracks on St. Clair Avenue and installing streetcars tracks on Sheppard Avenue?
Why isn't he being more forcefully challenged on his transportation strategy for Toronto?
He does not seem to have the courage or foresight to look into the future and build what is truly needed to turn Toronto into a world-class city. He only has to look to cities such as New York or Moscow for creative ideas to develop a system that will encourage people to take public transportation.
I supported Miller in the past; that turned out to be a disastrous mistake.
Would other people have voted for Miller if his election platform had been honest and forthright about his desire to tear down the Gardiner and put in streetcar tracks along St. Clair and Sheppard?
I know I would not have voted for him.
I hope people will step forward and help reveal the negative consequences of Miller's vision for Toronto before it is to late.
I think the Gardiner is a great tourist attraction. Where else can you get such a great view of Toronto skyline, especially at night with all the buildings lit up?
The city used to talk about the Gardiner restricting the sightline of the Toronto waterfront and then they went ahead and build a row of condos that certainly blocked the view of the Toronto waterfront.
If you disagree with Miller's transportation vision make sure you contact your local councillor; they want to be re-elected.
