Keep the Subway on Yonge!

Keep the subway NORTH on Yonge street. There’s no logic to tunneling under the Royal Orchard neighbourhood.

We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those in Thorncliffe Park. We need to defeat the Ford government and its outrageous plans or at least hold them to a minority.

Voices from the Thorncliffe Park community are growing louder as plans from Metrolinx to take over land in their neighbourhood for the Ontario Line move along. https://t.co/n5lfQosP7S @McAllister_Mark

"For the People" includes ALL the people or doesn't it? | Premier Doug Ford ducks Thornhill residents seeking his ear on Yonge subway extension route under their neighbourhood https://t.co/O5jKXkCapA via @@yorkregion

[Keep the Subway on Yonge! @StopOption3]

Premier @FordNation was in #Thornhill recently and residents affected by Metrolinx’s ill-considered YNSE route vied for his attention. After a year of trying to get him to respond we hoped he'd stop and talk but he left by a back door and honked at us! “For The People” is a joke.

Metrolinx needs to be held to account today, tomorrow and forever. https://t.co/eMTBlKICAJ

February 3 is a big day for fighting to keep the Yonge North Subway Extension on Yonge. You're encouraged to write plus watch the livestream of York Region Council at 9:00 a.m. for a debate on the alignment. Write here: https://t.co/jfbdtlgKKN Watch here: https://t.co/548FCkXmoN

Thank you @MelissaLantsman for your continuing steadfast support! While we are grateful to have a station…it currently comes at high cost to our community by tunnelling under homes/schools/parks when there's a better (and already approved) way: a Yonge subway belongs on Yonge!

[Melissa Lantsman @MelissaLantsman]

I'm with @KeithIrish1 on this one 👇 Good news for #Thornhill with the addition of Royal Orchard station to the Yonge subway extension. Still lots of work to do to keep the route on Yonge Street. #cdnpoli

[Keep the Subway on Yonge! @StopOption3]

We are very grateful to our #Thornhill MP @MelissaLantsman for her unwavering and unqualified support. A Yonge Subway belongs on Yonge Street! Ford government, are you listening?

[Keep the Subway on Yonge! @StopOption3]

Watch this to see how Metrolinx’s ill-considered Option 3 Yonge North Subway Extension alignment will ruin #Thornhill’s well-established Royal Orchard community. If it can happen here, it can happen anywhere. A Yonge Subway belongs on Yonge Street! https://t.co/tqjceVM54s

Metrolinx has lost touch with those it serves and believes the ends justify the means. Yes, building transit infrastructure can be painful, but it need be neither disrespectful nor arrogant. A Yonge subway belongs on Yonge! https://t.co/1P5BjZuRIX

[Save Jimmie Simpson @SaveJimmie]

Please join us Nov 28th at 2 pm to celebrate the lives of the trees of our beloved urban rail corridor forest. If Metrolinx gets its way, these glorious trees will be cut down in their prime, in a matter of weeks, to build the rushed and ill-considered Ontario Line above ground.

[Keep the Subway on Yonge! @StopOption3]

Why does Metrolinx ignore good rational alternatives to their otherwise destructive plans?! There are better alternatives everywhere. We know it. They know it. The Ford govt must be made to know it. Write the Premier at [email protected] and tell him so. https://t.co/0FYxz0yO3A

[Keep the Subway on Yonge! @StopOption3]

Hmmm. Two maps on a wall. One has YNSE aligned to Yonge St. The other doesn't. We know which #Vaughan & #Markham Councils prefer and #Thornhill MP @MelissaLantsman, MPP @GilaMartow and Councillor @KeithIrish1. A Yonge subway belongs on Yonge. Ministers, please do the right thing!

[Stan Cho @StanChoMPP]

Joined Minister @C_Mulroney in welcoming Federal Minister of Transport @OmarAlghabra to our office this afternoon.

Continued cooperation is crucial to delivering transit for people across the GTA!

[Keep the Subway on Yonge! @StopOption3]

Thank you MPP Martow for your declaration of support. We too have confidence in MP @MelissaLantsman and trust she'll do everything she can to convince those making the final decision to move the YNSE back to Yonge St. where we all know it belongs! She's supported us all along.

[Gila Martow @GilaMartow]

Here is my statement on MP Melissa Lantsman's recent appointment as the Shadow Minister for Transportation

[Keep the Subway on Yonge! @StopOption3]

Congrats Melissa! We're grateful for your support and advocacy on behalf of #Thornhill's Royal Orchard community and trust you can use your shadow platform to pressure the federal govt to withdrawn its funding of the Yonge Subway Extension until the alignment adheres to Yonge St.

[Melissa Lantsman @MelissaLantsman]

Honoured to serve as Shadow Minister for Transport ✈️🚆🚗🚇⛴️ Cdns deserve modern infrastructure, a secure way to move goods across 🇨🇦, & the safe movement of ppl from coast to coast to coast. Requires more than just empty promises, re-announcements, & consultations. #cdnpoli

[Keep the Subway on Yonge! @StopOption3]

Metrolinx’s Option 3 alignment tunnelling under homes in #Thornhill’s Royal Orchard Community concerns Markham Mayor @frankscarpitti. Markham & #Vaughan Councils have voted to reject this route! Contact @fordnation and @C_Mulroney and demand their support. https://t.co/KwrzBtAqUl

[Peter Tabuns @petertabuns.bsky.social @Peter_Tabuns]

Speaking today for changes to Metrolinx so we can build transit better and with more community support. @SaveJimmie @PACCTinfo

[Keith Irish @KeithIrish1]

The Yonge North Subway Extension belongs on Yonge Street. Period. Full stop. “For all those whose cares are my concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream of a Yonge subway alignment serving #Thornhill shall never die.”https://t.co/06gA0aDlui
