Mayor Tory announces new grant aimed at supporting small businesses impacted by transit construction

The Transit Expansion Construction Mitigation Grant Program, launched by the City of Toronto in partnership with FedDev Ontario and Metrolinx, will be made available for BIAs, non-profit organizations and “charities demonstrating a strong local business involvement.”

“Metrolinx’s contribution is dedicated specifically to supporting BIAs and businesses impacted by the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit construction.” “There were hundreds of businesses lost on St. Clair when the TTC work was done there, and there were hundreds lost along Eglinton [during construction of the] Crosstown,” Kiru told CP24 earlier this week.

“Metrolinx has worked to adopt innovative ways to support the local BIAs business community along the corridor since construction began on the [Eglinton Crosstown] project,” said Paul Manhire, Executive Vice President of light rail & bus projects at Metrolinx.

Start laying off City workers to save money!

How about metrojinx being held responsible for the delays. Get them to caught up the money

Even better just cancel the projects, businesses want parking, removing parking for a homeless shelter on wheels helps no one, it’ll only bring more crime and destruction to their areas and drive away actual customers in cars

How about we finish projects in 1-3 years instead of 15?

What about his authoritarian closure of shops the last two years JohnTory is useless
