MPP Marit Stiles sent this comment regarding the Antler-Lappin connection:
When Metrolinx came to the community in 2018, they presented residents with the idea of building a connection between Antler St and Lappin Ave to connect residents to Campbell Park, the new Davenport Guideway pedestrian path, schools, and a new public library. Under the Ford government, this proposal for a community connection was removed, leaving residents without access to the community benefits being constructed around them. Residents have been navigating dangerous detours and hearing construction noise almost 24 hours a day, all the while knowing that they will not stand to benefit. My office has worked with the community in demanding that Metrolinx recommit to building the connection at Antler St and Lappin Ave. Building public transit is not only a means to connect people from point A to point B – it is an opportunity to create new connections and bring communities together. I will continue to bring attention to this issue, working with the Councillor’s office and residents to see this project is completed as promised.
She also shared a video - filmed at the Antler-Lappin connection - voicing her support.
