ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(01-27-2015, 10:40 AM)Spokes Wrote: Seems like a potentially dangerous precedent to be setting

I think that municipalities as a matter of course should be pitching in for projects like this. But the precedent has already been set for full Metrolinx funding for GTHA rapid transit projects: the Eglinton Crosstown (at the better part of seven billion dollars) is fully-funded by the province. Mississauga's government (since the election) has said that it expects/hopes that the province will fully fund its LRT (at more than a billion and a half dollars).
