I also heard there was a plan of getting commuter rail back on track between the two as well.
What's going on with Jumbo? That's a lot of scaffolding for a simple paint job so I'm assuming something big is going on.

There were plans for a freeway from London to St. Thomas back in the 1960s, but it never got built. It was part of the Highway 402 plan shown in another thread. There has been talk of extending VMP to St. Thomas, but as some of that would be outside the City of London, the province would have to get involved.
From what I recall, the Jumbo project was more than a simple paint job - the whole statue needed to be refurbished.
