Vast cuts to TTC include scaling back removal of cancer-causing asbestos in stations Toronto TTC
Due to Toronto ending last year in a significant budget shortfall, the city is slashing capital spending across the board this year, whether by delaying or cutting back on the extent of roadwork, library renovations and other planned projects, or cancelling them outright.are a bit concerning.
One of these is nestled among the whopping $87,000,000 in TTC subprojects that are being reduced and pushed to future years, and is titled simply "Subway Asbestos Removal," which the city itself was unable to expand further upon inquiry from blogTO. It appears that, along with putting off certain TTC service improvement projects, some building work and a few upgrades to computer equipment and software for the commission, the city has decided to re-allocate some of the cash that was to go towards getting rid of the once-popular, though very hazardous insulation material that is in some tunnels and stations.
The transit agency has been working towards safely eliminating asbestos from across the system for many years now, closing portions of the subway linesto have crews complete the difficult work, along with other repairs. Between the citywide construction pollutants, the lingering asbestos in the TTC, and now this cloud of death.. I’d say it’s time to stop pretending we’re not all fucked
