So yesterday’s vote to return to an LRT-based transit strategy for Toronto (one that looks a lot like the former phase one Transit City plans) was kind of a big deal — regardless of which of the competing plans you hoped would win the day. Ranging from elation to frustration, there’s been no shortage of reaction to the events at city hall.

This hour-and-a-half-long walk promises to analyze the current political questions regarding Toronto’s transit system, and will also provide contextual background about public transit in Toronto dating back to the 19th century.

After Rossi’s kick-off, one right-of-centre councilor came away unpersuaded that he’s different than the other backroomers — LeDrew, Tom Long, John Tory — who believed they could make the transition from handler to handled.
