We have nice new fancy colour screens in our new Line 2 stations that just say "Every 12 minutes" because the project to get real-time train locations in the central database keeps being deferred.
So, these screens we spent money on are now useless.

Much of those savings are the result of lower fuel costs due to the federal government's elimination of the Carbon Tax. The Transit budget alone projects over $14M in "efficiencies". More than $9M of that is fuel savings. That's not the result of "continuous improvement". That's PM Carney. 4/

Aside from those "efficiencies", how much of the $252M saved over 4 years is from deferred capital projects? In 2025 alone, there were $21.3M in deferred capital transit projects. Deferred capital projects are not savings; they are cost avoidance. We didn't save money; we postponed spending it. 6/

There are two speed cameras on Walkley Rd between Bank and St Laurent that were installed in 2024. In 2022 that stretch of Walkley had 34 collisions with injuries. In 2024, after the cameras were turned on, there were just 4 collisions with injuries. Speed cameras work.

It's stupid that we even have to fight things like this.
The benefit of bike infrastructure in cities is clear. Ensuring there's a lane for everything (cars, transit, bikes, & walking) gives people choice, and when those choices are more space-efficient, that frees up room and eases congestion.

Bill 60’s provision on banning bike lanes is
undemocratic
an assault on municipal autonomy
a threat to people’s safety
fiscally reckless
