Chris Friel Mayor of Brantford Folgen

7. Dez. 2013 — I appreciate and respect the support being presented for GO service to Brantford by this petition. I am confused by the "back to Brantford" part of the petition as Brantford has never had regular GO service.



Brantford City Council has been working with our MPP in an open process that has been widely covered by the media, to bring GO service to Brantford.



We met with with Metrolinx and Go represenatives to outline a starting point, we have approved funding for the buiness plan and our staff are currently preparing that plan as part of the Transportation Master-plan, and we have approved funding and location for a new transit terminal.



We hope to present a plan in the new year, but I should be clear that it won't be trains to start as that would take years. We will start with bus service as other commuters have done.



Again, all of this activity has been open and widely covered by the media.



While I appreciate the support, we are well along in our process and all the emails are clogging up my inbox. To the petioners author, is there a way for me to gather the support (which is very helpful for our cause and I encourage), in a way that would not require every signature to arrive in my inbox?
