LRT Now Group

Last week, I read in the news about a group that was called LRT Now and that they had put in a plan to the mayor's task transit task force. Does anyone have any details about their plan or about who they are? The newspaper said that they had a 3 line system planned out and as a group, they had at the least 75 members. Now I am not thinking of jumping groups here, I just whant to find it out what they want to do. I did an electronic search and had come up empty. Also, does anybody know if the mayor's task force has to make all submissions public or is it kept secret till they come up with their report?

Re: LRT Now Group

In brief, the LRT Now plan consists of 4 possible options (with different implementation scenarios) and is comprised of transit advocates, rail enthuses, concerned tax payers, and transit users.
For more information on this plan contact Greg Ross at gregoryl_ross@sympatico.ca

A website is in the works.

As for O’Brien’s task force, I believe all plans submitted are kept confidential, unless the group itself goes public (like LRT Now did).
