Mayor responds to CTA transit letter
The “Cobourg Transit Review” consultant’s report by the IBI Group was released in February 2014.
Don Morrison sent a detailed letter to the Town outlining many concerns about the CIVIC proposal. His letter documented thorough and detailed observations on why Council should NOT adopt the CIVIC plan. The CTA agrees with Mr. Morrison and has sent a letter of support to the Mayor and Council.
We are calling on Council to approve a zero tax increase budget for 2016.
In a letter addressed yesterday to the Mayor and members of Council, CTA President Lydia Smith asked that they show leadership by instructing staff to produce a 2016 Town budget resulting in no increase in the municipal portion of property taxes that citizens pay.
