Toronto announced a major new transit network, called Transit City, in 2007. It called for a series of above-ground light rail lines crisscrossing the city. But when Rob Ford was elected mayor in 2010, he scrapped Transit City in favour of a more expensive plan that would build less new transit lines, but bury all new construction underground. Then, last month, Toronto City Council overruled Mayor Ford and reinstituted a plan similar to Transit City, with most new transit on above-ground rails. But the mayor hasn't given up on his plan, meeting with members of the business community and considering new fees and taxes to pay for underground rail.

The whole transit saga has led many to wonder if Toronto is still capable of making major planning decisions, or whether the city's government is so dysfunctional that picking a plan and sticking to it is virtually impossible. We debated this on Wednesday's program (which you can watch in the video window above). And at the same time as our broadcast, we had an online chat where members of the public could have their say. Here is the transcript of that chat:
