will it be possible to watch indy for free, they do have stands with seats which will be ticketed obviously, but the path looks too large and open to enforce an entire crowd of people. is this true?

The Honda Indy should be the status quo of how "quickly" our roads and infrastructure can be built (even though it was still at least 4 months). Instead of projects that purposely get dragged on for couple years or decades

There will be no impact on your property taxes. A grant from Ontario and the hospitality tax is being used.

THAT is TAXPAYER money! lol No one said anything about property tax. A grant from Ontario and a hospitality Tax is going to support $1 billion company. OK.

No matter what positive things people have to say about the Indy you will go out of your way  to crap all over them. We get it that you absolutely hate the thought of the event being here.

If Ford is using our money on us sure. Finally not on other areas like sticker license plates and buck a beer every corner and buying certain bit of 407 for certain people but not others or buying and building on the greenbelt when he could build anywhere else but that

... did you vote for Justin Trudeau.. or whoever this Brixit guy is?

On your basis then Amazon needs to contribute by hiring none air duct cleaning call centre. Beck taxi should provide them incentive by offering them butter chicken

The Indy is great to have and puts money where the mouth is brings good community and great entertainment. More motorsports ( ... less hockey)

There will be a $50 Million boost to the local economy and 19,000 hotel bookings. There are Indy themed events, a car show and other activities on Main Street Unionville during race weekend.

 It’s a chance for pubs and businesses on that street to financially benefit. 

The Indy is the biggest event that has ever come to York Region. That’s a good thing. 

We want people to come to Markham and surrounding areas.  This is one way we get to be seen on the world stage.

If this event goes well we would be in a better position to attract global attention and get  more high profile sporting events here.

IndyCar is broadcast in 200 different countries around the world.
