Fucking stupid idea. If you're going to bore a tunnel build a subway. Much higher capacity without the ability to have an underground traffic jam.
Let's not forget that his shithead junkie brother cancelled MOST of Transit City -- a plan developed & designed for maximum impact for the least expense... Costing the city of Toronto nearly $100M in wasted work and cancellation penalties (which massively benefitted developers).
He fought like hell for the city to build subways rather than surface rail on a separated grade from cars, which is far cheaper, and nearly as effective as subways when approaching streetcars get priority from traffic lights.
Man, those cancelation fees look tiny compared to what the United Conservatives are forcing Calgary to swallow.
Canceling projects that are already well into their life cycle is such a collosal waste of money that it's insane conservatives support it.
