Well everyone can't be happy now can they?..... I've heard a lot of anti TTC but no proposals from them with cost, the routes, land acquisition, how it would be financed, etc. etc. etc. At least this is an attempt to get the ball moving which started back some years ago with studies being done. This is only one project of which the others if they get done will occur many years out into the future.

The 'Corridor' concept is like a whirlpool in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I assume you know what whirlpools do...

I could care less about the heterosexual's traffic problems. I left Houston after twenty years (25 years ago) because I had better things to do with my life than set in traffic two to four hours a day. That is a life choice one makes.

As an aside,I headed to town a week or so ago to get a much needed haircut and turned around and came home when I had to wait for four cars in front of me at a stop sign to clear the intersection. Too much traffic... (Grin, almost true)
