New streetcars a go

According to this report, the province and the city is expected to announce that those low-riding streetcars by Bombardier are a go.

The streetcars would replace the TTC's decrepit 30-year-old fleet that runs on 11 of the city's busiest transit routes.
Without new cars, the TTC would have to undertake a major rebuild of its current vehicles, something that would cost at least $100 million and take years. Meantime, the cars are failing so fast the TTC anticipates having to use buses on some routes later this year.
Government and Bombardier officials were tight-lipped Wednesday over details of Friday's announcement.
