\n\u201cThe loss and reduction of these services are not justifiable and the effect of these reductions will be felt on the backs of the low income and working people of the city.\u201d -Edward Lantz, Toronto ACORN member and regular TTC user.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nComing on the heels of other proposals for broader major service reductions, and earlier TTC route reductions in May 2011, these new cuts are simply unacceptable.<\/div>\nMayor Ford and the TTC Commission will be forcing low and moderate income families and those who depend on transit to get around, to pay more for increasingly diminished service.<\/p>\n
WHAT: Toronto ACORN members will deliver a gift of 282 lumps of coal to the TTC Commission – one for each bus and streetcar that will be removed from Toronto streets under the commissions plan.<\/p>\n
WHEN: Wednesday, December 14, 2011 1PM<\/p>\n
WHERE: City Hall, Committee Room 3, 2nd Floor<\/p>\n
