Etobicoke York Community Council Meeting

Fly By Rail attended the November 2nd, 2011 meeting at the Etobicoke City Center - 399 The West Mall on the southeastern corner where it intersects with Burnhamthorpe. Mark Grimes, the Council Chair, presided over a meeting, introducing our Outreach Manager William Treseder to the crowd. William, along with Planning and Engineering Manager Leila Zheng, discussed various aspects of the project with interested citizens.

Several concerns were about up by both council members and the public. Most revolved around the project's funding streams, while some expressed doubts about the project environmental impact and economic benefits. Flyers were distributed and contact information was gathered as we build up our mailing list in preparation for the release of our first e-newsletter.
