SAUNDERS FACEBOOK — Former Toronto police chief Mark Saunders pledges to expand transit and make it safer.
Saunders said he would end Toronto’s “stop-start-stop” approach to transit planning by accelerating an extension of the TTC’s Line 4 to Sheppard and McCowan. He also pledged to work with the provincial government to undertake a planning assessment for extending the Ontario Line northbound to Sheppard Avenue East.
In an interview with the Daily Commercial News, Saunders also called Chow out for not being straight about whether she would raise taxes and for her plan to create a new City of Toronto agency to build housing. His campaign focus on policing resources to make the city safer is closely linked to broader measures including providing adequate social supports and physical infrastructure, Saunders said. The lack of “connectivity” has hurt Toronto’s economy, he said.
“I use collaboration first, talking with communities and talking with employees, putting plans together. So collaboration is first and foremost,” he said of his leadership style. “Secondly, using the tools that are necessary. Thirdly, prioritizing.”
