Reader Matthew Bishop has been keeping track of complaints about traffic caused by construction of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. At a meeting Tuesday it was said that Metrolinx is unaware of traffic problems in Leaiside. Mr. Bishop is about to change that by sending Metrolinx more than 50 emails he has received about traffic. Says Matt: “I was informed (by Councillor Burnside) that the Metrolinx representatives informed him that they were unaware of any traffic problem in North Leaside (and I believe South Leaside as well) as they have yet to receive a complaint from any resident in the community related to traffic. Although I find this extremely hard to believe, the Councillor has asked me to communicate that on any emails we send to his offices with regards to traffic that we also copy Metrolinx on those emails (Email: crosstown@metrolinx.com). Please continue to send me your complaints as well to matthewmbishop@gmail.com as I have been logging and sharing with the Councillor the growing level of frustration and concern in the community on all things traffic” .
