"Informed comment" on CYTZ

So apart from LCY, how wrong is Ms. Rudder?
Pearson suits our needs just fine
Forget waterfront if airport expanded, Nov. 26.
We have an airport already. We do not need another airport downtown. What other city in the world do you know that has an airport in the centre? Paris? New York? Rome? Not one — and for good reason.
Last week, I got to the airport in the middle of the day from Dundas and Bathurst Sts. in 15 minutes.
The last time I went at rush hour, it was 20 minutes.
What we do need is someone with brains at City Hall.

Absolutely, LCY for starters. Also, Edmonton has its City Centre airport, though admittedly there is a pax cap on commercial flights into there. Vancouver and Victoria both have commercial flights operating into their respective harbours.
My question for the author is how can Toronto possibly be a "world class city" without a multitude of airports to arrive and depart from?
If Toronto is going to uphold its status as centre of the Universe, I suggest they get digging and build that bridge.
