Work is under way to bring light rail transit to the neighbourhoods across the City that surround Sheppard Ave, Eglinton Ave, and Finch Ave, but Mayor Ford has ordered the TTC to stop this work.

On Monday March 8th, TTCriders attended a Transit City open house near Midland and Eglinton about the expansion of the Scarborough RT. More than 60 people attended hoping to learn more about the project and give their feedback. Information about the project was provided through a video presentation and display panels that outlined the plans for the expansion and construction. Residents could speak with consultants, employees of the TTC, and others to ask questions about the project. Information was only available in English.
