Toronto mayoral candidates made their pitches on Monday for a safer subway along with plans to mitigate climate change in the city.
Mayoral hopeful Ana Bailão pushed forward her promise to bring cell service to the Toronto transit system alongside increasing security camera coverage and hiring more TTC staff to “have more eyes and ears” across the city.
Bailão is also pitching to reverse transit cuts, which included reducing pre-COVID-19 service hours, and increasing cleaning schedules across transit stations.“One thing that I'm proposing is the expansion of the trauma community crisis response, which is a service that was created as being extremely successful as an alternative to police.”
Mayoral candidate Mitzie Hunter took Monday as an opportunity to release her three-point plan to mitigate climate change risks of extreme weather. “The most immediate effect of climate change is severe and dangerous weather and, for Toronto, the biggest risk for people is residential basement flooding and extreme heat,” Hunter said in a Monday release.
