Just in, Steve Lehman in #Ward8 well now we have a race. #LdnOnt @LondonMorning @NeedlesOnNews @DNewcombeCTV @financialsanity @downshiftlondon

[Really? @REALLYLDN]

@coraliew @AndrewHunniford @ShiftLdnOnt @downshiftlondon There will be 4 BRT stops on Richmond, there were 11 or 12. But they realized this may be a prob, so going to re-introduce LTC buses into the "single" non-dedicated lane on Richmond. Eliminating congestion are we @ShiftLdnOnt ? #LdnOnt #Chaoscoming

EXCLUSIVE: Why has city hall delayed an audit of the Bus Rapid Transit project until next year? Find out which aspects of the BRT project are now waiting until 2019 to be independently reviewed. #LdnOnt

[Down Shift @downshiftlondon]

Key city manager leaves, raising new questions about the BRT project. https://t.co/8anpRZLzee

[CTV London @CTVLondon]

M-P questions latest communication about SHIFT rapid transit funding, suggesting it is a done deal. More from @DNewcombeCTV https://t.co/Q49hfHTjcw

@late2game @jmccall54 @VictorDYoung @NeedlesOnNews @ShiftLdnOnt @downshiftlondon Hi Shawn. The $204 million that was committed to London by the federal govt for transit purposes is based on an objective formula centred on ridership figures. The number has not been cherry-picked to match with Shift funding requirements. These are the facts.

[Down Shift @downshiftlondon]

Listen to what @pfragiskatos had to say about #feds and the status of BRT - two clear messages 1. City is not stating facts in their current ads & construction dates as federal funding is not approved 2. No business case to be recd to Feds until late Fall at earliest https://t.co/JkNeUQCqSF

[Down Shift @downshiftlondon]

The request by Western for a deal to work is expenses covered in perpetuity on several fronts. Do the math on the proposed elements. Good attempt at some fiscal responsibility @SquirePhil https://t.co/FDKGTfmtGt

[Daryl Newcombe @DNewcombeCTV]

Motion by @SquirePhil to delay tonight's BRT vote until a deal to use Western's campus roads is in place fails 1-12. @virginia_ridley absent and @JoshMorganLDN recused.

[Daryl Newcombe @DNewcombeCTV]

Clerk handing out wording of a possible motion from @SquirePhil calling for the vote tonight on BRT Environmental Report to be put on hold until a deal reached to permit BRT buses on campus. #LdnOnt

[Down Shift @downshiftlondon]

@coraliew @MayorMattBrown @cityoflondon The @MayorMattBrown was not even in attendance @WesternU last Board of Govenors mtg where delaying their #BRT was discussed. How can you advocate today when the votes on?

[Coralie Waschkowski @coraliew]

There is still WAY too much uncertainty!! Shut down the vote @MayorMattBrown and @cityoflondon councillors ... enough is enough. I want a say in how my taxes are spent! https://t.co/dJy79h0lM9

[Down Shift @downshiftlondon]

Yes, yes, yes https://t.co/xnw0dpgga5

[Daryl Newcombe @DNewcombeCTV]

ICYMI- Is there still too much uncertainty about Bus Rapid Transit for Councillors to vote on launching the final phase of the Environmental Assessment? Or have there already been too many delays for BRT? #LdnOnt

@NeedlesOnNews I’ve never understood why this council has been in such a rush to push this plan through, when there are so many holes and unanswered questions

[Craig Needles @NeedlesOnNews]

Up first today, @SquirePhil wants to see the Shift BRT decision deferred. He'll explain and then we'll take your calls on @AM980News. #ldnont

[Denise Horoky @FadedBleuJeans]

Dear #ldnont voters: Vote for the politicians who promise to halt this BUS (not so) rapid transit debacle. London deservers better than this flawed, ill-conceived plan. https://t.co/9nMsDdgJBk

[Denise Horoky @FadedBleuJeans]

Dear #ldnont voters: Now, more than ever it is important to follow the money. This ridiculous, flawed and ill-conceived BUS (not so) rapid transit plan needs to be stopped now. https://t.co/GiYlJuIdZd

[Really? @REALLYLDN]

Amazing coverage...again! Have to wonder where the City/BRT ( @ShiftLdnOnt ) would be at this point without the Fourth Estate? @CTVLondon @downshiftlondon #LdnOnt https://t.co/ltRAmXoFtw

[Down Shift @downshiftlondon]

City staff citing $118-million of the $130-m was to come from development charges (DC), issues now around DC funding have come up with words like "Capital Levy" & "Financing" in this interview. https://t.co/tpBdjdOJ7q… Share information and contact your Ward Councillor now.

[Down Shift @downshiftlondon]

Surprise #4 in a week. Watch, call your councillor & urge to vote NO on moving EA ahead on Tuesday. ps - no deal with Western Board yet either https://t.co/xnw0dpxRyF
