GO Expansion Metrolinx Save Small's Creek Brad Bradford✌️ Doug Ford We know you are exempt but that doesn’t mean you should not be held accountable. Every effort should be made to minimize the impact on the community rather than hiding behind exemptions. This is a recurring issue.
Again Metrolinx GO Expansion showing a complete disregard for the communities where they are working! Violating noise by-laws in Save Small's Creek and now blocking pedestrian access on Woodbine with no crosswalks or lights nearby. Brad Bradford✌️ Doug Ford Mayor Olivia Chow
Frustrating when Metrolinx GO Expansion changes their construction plan to the one the Save Small's Creek team originally suggested but only after destroying a tree canopy they could have protected! Brad Bradford✌️ @TOtrees MM McMahon Mayor Olivia Chow
Again a reminder that how Metrolinx does business in general (under Verster) has and continues to have a devastating impact on Toronto communities. Think about Save Small's Creek Stop the Trains in Our Parks dontmesswiththedon Save Jimmie Simpson . His “track” record speaks for itself.
Since Metrolinx GO Expansion provide limited updates, here is Save Small's Creek today! Culvert is supposedly almost installed, a road still extends through the ravine and the connection is still lost. Lots of work still to be done Brad Bradford✌️ @TOtrees MM McMahon Toronto and Region Conservation Authority

18 months after the trees came down in Save Small's Creek and now Metrolinx GO Expansion decided to block off half of the boardwalk with no notice! Maybe because you built a road that looms over the walkway posing a risk? Brad Bradford✌️ @TOtrees
The Metrolinx GO Expansion weekly newsletters are stale with no meaningful updates. This is what is happening in Save Small's Creek . Culvert replacement underway but no timelines or further conversations on restoration. Forward thinking would mean having a solid plan in place!
The access road on the south side of Save Small's Creek that Metrolinx GO Expansion claims in this week’s newsletter “is being” constructed has been there for 18 months. It is used for construction east and west of the ravine. That was why the tree canopy had to be destroyed!

Systemic problem is not just Mtx reckless 'progress' or Smalls Creek's ESA protected ravine. 'Someone needs to be held accountable' for Doug Ford and the City of TO failure to deliver on #climate #biodiversity . We are not going to grow out of this! #overshoot
The Save Small's Creek team speaking today on the power of community advocacy. Extended an invitation to Metrolinx GO Expansion to see community engagement and consultation as an asset rather than a liability.
The trees are gone in Save Small's Creek but we continue with our advocacy. Members of our team will be presenting this Friday. Please join us environment.utoronto.ca/events/2023-be…
With signs of spring in Save Small's Creek I was happy to be able to tell a young fan that Metrolinx GO Expansion has committed to restoring the connectivity in the ravine with a boardwalk. His tears at seeing the trees come down was replaced with a big smile. #restoration
Calling on @TOtrees Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Brad Bradford✌️ for some oversight by the City of Metrolinx GO Expansion in Save Small's Creek . Protective fences are falling and/or being moved, encroaching in City property and an already vulnerable ecosystem. There needs to be continued accountability.
A needed first step but the Metrolinx experience has and continues to negatively impact on communities across TO! Many of us have much to add to this conversation. Change comes from standing together! Save Small's Creek Stop the Trains in Our Parks Brad Bradford✌️
Osgoode was not really the “poster” child. Communities across TO have (Save Small's Creek ) and will (@STOPthetrains1 ) be impacted by Metrolinx tactics. There needs to be a united front and approach in addressing how a government agency does business! Brad Bradford✌️
Diana Chan McNally Metrolinx City of Toronto The contrast between the speed at which @metrolinx carries out destruction (very fast) and actually builds transit (very slow) could not be more stark.

Hey Metrolinx GO Expansion are you regularly inspecting the construction site Save Small's Creek ? Safety fences are intruding into City space! There is a natural habitat that still needs protecting! Due diligence!! @TOtrees Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Brad Bradford✌️ MM McMahon
