The Corporation advised the Union that  they are considering making the move.  The costs to adjusting the drive time by leaving Loop Q at the YDC is approximately $63,000.00 in addition to a person and a vehicle which equates to approximately $140,000.00.  Moving Loop Q to the 1 Yonge Hub would mean a savings of $50,000.00 in addition to a person and a vehicle, which equates to savings of $127,000.00.
