Councillor Gord Perks rails against public-private partnerships. "It is not 3 Ps. It's 6 Ps: Public Partner Pays, Private Partner Profits."
He says the private partner on Finch LRT is "laughing all the way to the bank" as council tries to fix the issues with the line.

You can't install speed bumps on arterials such as Parkside, Gil. The City had a plan to make Parkside safer by putting in a bi-directional cycle track on the west side, but the Ford government banned the conversion of motor vehicle lanes to bike lanes or "any other prescribed purpose" via Bill 60.
