** In Nov, Eric reached out to EBC. SEDF wrote a [http://www.savethefootbridge.com/alternative-route/ report summarizing the concerns] about the Southeast LRT route.
** Chris wrote: "I've reviewed this report in detail. We still have to formulate our own position. We'd certainly favour saving the footbridge if possible but LRT route options are beyond our core expertise."
** SDF: "We are still urging the City to alter the river crossing portion of the Valley Line, and also to explore options such as Bus Rapid Transit. We have gotten the support of five community leagues (Riverdale, Rossdale, Boyle Street, Grovenor, and Belgravia.) It would be with the hope EBC would support either a review of the Valley Line, or an alternative route."
