Ken Greenberg: Paul Bedford

East Waterfront Dept: A joint citizen, political and civic coalition could kick-start the transit improvements the region needs to stave off a nightmare of gridlock, say architect and author Ken Greenberg and former Toronto head planner Paul Bedford, according to The Star. That combination of groups is powerful, said Bedford and leading transportation experts say Toronto needs the kind of civic action coalition that helped kill a plan by the Ford brothers to put a Ferris wheel on the east waterfront. A grassroots online community, together with regional politicians from all levels of government and civic leaders like the U of T Cities Centre and CivicAction Alliance, could push for fundraising mechanisms that would build the $50 billion in transit improvements outlined in Metrolinx s Big Move plan.
