A GO terminal at Summerhill, in Toronto, would be a great idea. Utilizing tracks, that are already available, if they can sort out issues with CN/CP. However, I don’t really want to spend much time on that issue; I’d rather point out my reasoning why I feel Toronto will one day grind to a halt before anyone fixes the gridlock issues that plague the city. In the Toronto Star, on September 15, 2007, Kyle Rae, Toronto city councillor suggested that a GO Terminal at Summerhill would be a bad idea because he “gets complaints about the noise and speed”. Well gosh, darn it I am so sorry! We don’t want to bother the ‘precious’ people in the Summerhill area. Why as if no one else has some type of problem in the Greater Toronto Area. This is what is wrong with the city! I know he is looking out for his “constituents”; however no one ever wants something in their backyard. Everything is fine and others can suffer as “my rights are not treaded on”. Really we need to move planning out of the hands of politicians and back to ‘Urban Planners’ who are professionals in their trade. We all have to work together to make Toronto move and I hope at some point someone will have the guts to fix it.
