It's quite obvious some of you don't understand the political process.

The province asked for a study, that study is almost complete. Once the report is done it will be submitted to the province for consideration. Council and city staff cannot procede with anything until they see the results of the study. Why would they continue to have staff assigned to this when there is no need for it at the present time.

They have not taken LRT off the table. They are only waiting for the next step to begin. These things take time and every city has to go through the same process.

In the mean time what is wrong with the city having staff work on another priority, all day GO service.

There are going to be many more steps that will take alot more time. The environmental assessment when they get to that stage could take a year or more. I wouldn't anticipate getting shovels in the ground for something as involved as this for at least 5 years and thats if all goes well.

Ottawa has been planning their LRT for over 10 years and they still aren't at the point where shovels are in the ground and from what I have been reading the present proposal there, is a long way from being approved.
