Comments on GTA-West Transportation Corridor, August, 2010

By Transport Action Ontario | Highways and Bridges

 

In August, 2010,  comments were submitted to the project team on this corridor.  These were in follow up to the comments submitted by Transport Action Ontario (TAO) in 2009.

Due to the summer season and the pressures of time, it was not possible to obtain a formal review and approval of these comments by the  TAO board of directors.  Therefore the comments were personal ones submitted by Peter Miasek as an individual.  However, it is believed that they do reflect the collective opinion of TAO.
