Let's Talk Transit Event

Sorry for the late notice (meant to post this a couple days ago), but there is a transit-related event going on this evening. It's open to members of the public. Unfortunately I'm not able to attend this one.

Investigating a CRL to Help Pay for SETWAY

Alderman Shane Keating's Notice of Motion to investigate using a Community Revitalization Levy to help fund the Southeast Transitway passed at council 8-7. Here is the notice of motion.

Administration will investigate and report back on the matter by September.

My thoughts are generally in agreement with SebC on this. You'd have to do some more spectacular than usual accounting gymnastics to make a case for it. CRLs/TIFs often involve some of this to an extent, but I think this particular application would be a stretch.
