With Mayor David Miller out of town on vacation, the Toronto Port Authority has announced that has issued a formal request for to conduct an environmental assessment on building a $38 million pedestrian tunnel to the Toronto City Centre Airport on the Toronto Islands.
Opposition to a bridge to the Toronto Islands and opposition to the airport were key points of Miller’s 2003 campaign and with the various legal battles and agreements over the failed bridge proposal it’s unclear if the Toronto Port Authority could build a tunnel without City of Toronto approval.
