The Toronto Board of Health is hosting a public forum on the proposed Metrolinx expansion of the Georgetown South transit line and the rail link from Union Station to Pearson.
The Board of Health supports expanded public transit as a way to reduce vehicle traffic, but remains concerned about health risks and air quality impacts predicted with the proposed diesel rail expansion.
The TTC will be conduction streetcar track repairs on Queen St. E. at Carlaw Avenue and in the Neville Loop this weekend. Work will start at 6 am on Saturday, March 20, and will be completed by the beginning of service at 5am, Monday March 22.

It is a fitting legacy for so many Torontonians who have worked so hard to clean up our rivers, preserve our ravines and protect our environment.
