Regarding the Scarborough area, Zhao Chengjun said, 'Ford has great favor towards Scarborough. Compared to the previous Liberal government's long-term neglect of Scarborough, under the Conservative government, Scarborough not only gained a brand new Birchmount Hospital, but also established the first medical school in Scarborough's history, filling the gap in medical professionals in the area and comprehensively improving medical services.'; At the same time, Scarborough has acquired two new subway lines, the Scarborough Subway Extension and the Snow Bay East Subway Extension, making residents' lives more convenient
Ford also promised in Scarborough last Thursday to accelerate the construction of the "Cedar East Subway Extension", starting one year earlier than planned, connecting the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) Line 4 and the Scarborough Subway Extension. At the same time, it was announced to rebuild and upgrade multiple locations on the east lane of Highway 401.
This includes rebuilding and upgrading the east lane of Highway 401, from Victoria Park Ave to Avenue Rd and then to Neilson Rd, and adding a new lane at the Kennedy Rd interchange; And rebuild and upgrade the eastbound expressway of Highway 401 from Avenue Rd to Warden Ave, including replacing the bridge at the intersection of Leslie St and Bayview Ave.
Zhao Chengjun promised that after his successful re-election, he will strive for more investment in the development of infrastructure in the area, and strive to reduce crime rates and residents' living costs. Under the Conservative Party, the primary goal will be to protect the Ontario economy and labor market, benefiting workers and businesses in the area.
