BURLINGTON, ON
Where does all the money come from?
Burlington MP Karina Gould with a constituent.
The federal government is pumping a lot of money into Burlington – which means our Member of Parliament is doing her job.
A new list of transit projects has been approved under the Canada-Ontario Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF) agreement, which is designed to address key infrastructure priorities with a focus on repairing and upgrading existing facilities and assets.
The Government of Canada is providing Ontario with over $1.48 billion under PTIF, and will fund up to 50 per cent of the eligible project costs.
$75,000 for a Bus Rapid Transit on Plains Road – Fairview – where does that fit in?
As part of the bilateral agreement with Ontario, the following projects in 28 municipalities have now been approved for federal funding amounting to more than $202 million.
1.6 million on sidewalks and pathways… lets all pat the MPP, who voted against our schools, on the back.
Why does asbestos have to be removed from the Transit headquarters? There should not be any since it was only built a few years ago. Also why were 3 new busses funded when the drivers a so overworked they need illegal overtime to drive the existing ones. Answer: poor planning?
Hey, wait a minute… why are we only getting 2M, when St. Catharines is getting 8.57 Million! Even Sarnia is getting 1.7M. Sounds like Karina and the City have more work to do.
I guess Oakville is doing a better job at lobbying though, they’re getting $4.95 Million…
