The pains of transit projects: Metrolinx and various disputes around the city

Guest: Lex Harvey, transportation reporter

Public transit is something that is always difficult to get built in the Toronto area. Case in point: several transit lines are to be built in the next decade, and already skirmishes are happening. There have been complaints about the state of the years-delayed and overbudget Eglinton Crosstown, concern about the fate of mature trees at Osgoode Hall and questions from parents and kids at an east end school where transit work is underway. Metrolinx, the agency responsible, is taking a heavy hand of community complaints. Is it all par for the course or are there bigger questions to be asked?

This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar.
