Article - $50B transit plan would improve GO, TTC

Toronto Star, September 2
Author: Tess Kalinowski

A $50 billion plan to build new rail, busways, streetcars and cycling amenities will double the number of Toronto-area transit trips in 25 years. There are about 100 projects in the plan. The key aspects include:

An integrated cycling and walking network with more than 7,000 kilometres of dedicated cycling lanes funded at $500 million.

A network of connected mobility hubs that will be more than simply train stations. The bigger versions will be destinations in of themselves and they will all provide a way to connect various modes of transportation from heavy rail to biking.
