This forum, hosted by the City of Toronto, is an
opportunity for public discussion of the proposed Metrolinx expansion
of the Georgetown South transit line and the rail link from Union
Station to Pearson. The Board of Health supports expanded public transit
as a way to reduce vehicle traffic, but remains concerned about health
risks and air quality impacts predicted with the proposed diesel rail
expansion.
