Rhoda Potter, president of the Agincourt Village Community Association, has lived in Scarborough for more than 50 years and says her community is waiting to see a subway line come to fruition. Many people in Scarborough cannot afford a car. They need to take public transit and it takes them hours to get anywhere, she said. Potter says she's been attending Metrolinx meetings and talking with MPs to advocate for her community

The Department of Transportation says work will begin the second week of October and wrap up by the end of the year, with the new rules going live in November or December. Once in effect, private cars will only be allowed onto the street to reach local businesses and must exit within a block. Translation: No more joyrides across town. Trucks and buses, however, will rule the road from 6 am to 10 pm.
