    I think all publicly funded projects should be 100% public knowledge in money spent and ppl need to be more willing to stand up and voice opposition to overspending bullshit.

    I remember years ago a local municipality installing "poop and scoop bins" at local parks so ppl could clean up after their dogs.
    Was $1500 Per bin. And they were nothing more than a metal trash bin with a box bolted to the side for bags

    So they just report on how quickly the city responded and awesome it is that they did this for the seniors who use the park. Way to glance over the gross incompetence in spending that nearly happened, or the fact that nothing would have been build for ages if the real story never would have hit the news in the first place. smh

    I watched the one in front of my office being built. For a structural engineer it was porn, but the entire time i kept thinking it must cost a fortune!
    I noticed the same thing when I lived in Brampton - the design and engineering in the new city buildings was a marvel - I enjoyed going into new city buildings and just starred at the exposed structures - I even complemented them on it compared to the old buildings that they had built in the seventies and eighties that where in need of much repair and possibly needing to be condemned...

    Since this thread is being revived: I have seen these ultramodern bus shelters going up on Highway 7 (10 years ago from Leslie to Beaver Creek), more recently along Davis Drive in Newmarket, (finished 2 years ago), now on Bathurst st north of Steeles, and on #7 around Jane St to Keele.

    The funny thing: when I drive by these shelters with their associated landscaping and dedicated bus lanes almost ANY time of day there's almost NEVER anybody in them. At best I see 1 or two people. Multi-millions of our dollars to service no one?

    Building for the future I guess. Growing up in Scarborough in the 70's, buses were empty then, especially out to West Hill, now they are sardine cans, only took 30 years
