'Their heads are going to explode': Councillors balk at $150M price tag for extending West Toronto Railpath by 2 kilometresThe planned two-kilometre extension of a walking and cycling path from Roncesvalles to Liberty Village in Toronto's west end is raising eyebrows for the projected $150 million price tag.
"I think we need to have a conversation about value for money, and all of us can agree that, you know, extending an existing walkway and cycling corridor makes a lot of sense, but not at any cost," Coun.
