2.  Piledriving Update and Call to Action

You may have heard that the Canadian Transportation Authority (CTA) ruled in favour of local residents in the Junction area, and found that GO's diesel piledriving was unreasonable. Following the ruling, Junction residents enjoyed a brief period of peace.
 
Unfortunately, that peace may be short-lived: GO is appealing the ruling, arguing that any delay would impact the timelines for the Georgetown South Expansion. The Georgetown Expansion's dependency on the piledriving is debatable, but residents' need for solidarity with their fellow residents is not. There are two things you can do:

     i) Send an impact statement: Tell them how intolerable the piledriving has been. 

        Impact statements should be sent to or dropped off at:

     Gerard Kennedy Constituency Office

     2849 Dundas Street West
     Toronto, Ontario
     M6P 1Y6
 
* The office is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday but there is a mail slot you can use outside those hours.

      ii) Attend the hearing. A show of force will strengthen residents' chances of maintaining the CTA's   injunction.

     Where: Federal court, 180 Queen Street West, Suite 200

     When: Thursday, January 28, 9:30 a.m.
 

3.  Metrolinx Air Quality Monitoring

Metrolinx is still taking comments on their Air Quality Monitoring Program. Voice your concerns. Tell Metrolinx that you will not settle for anything other than electrified rail service!
 
      Go to: http://www.metrolinx.com/gsse/default.aspx
      When: Comments will be accepted until Jan 31, 2010.
 

4.  Mario Silva at DIGIN

For residents of Davenport and the West Toronto Diamond, here's your chance to press Mario Silva on the rail expansion. We need the Federal Government to step up, and we need all our elected officials to do what we elected them to do: represent our interests.

 Where: Wallace Emerson Community Centre (Ambrico Room)

 When: Tuesday, February 9, 7 p.m.
