Origin
Summary
Please accept this letter as my request to add a new item of business to the February 14th, 2019 Scarborough Community Council agenda, entitled: Updated Ridership Projection along Sheppard Ave East Corridor.
I would like to move the motion below that would update ridership numbers along the Sheppard Ave East Corridor. As you may know, there is significant development planned for this area to be built in the near future, almost over 70 towers containing upwards of 18 thousand new residential units. The motion is to request updated ridership projections to get a better understanding of whether the imminent intensification may require a higher order of transit to service this area.
