Dan Doctoroff of Sidewalk Labs told The Canadian Press in an interview that his company may lose interest in the project if transit to the area isn’t built. The CEO of Sidewalk Labs says the company may pull out of the project if it can't get transit built in the Quayside neighbourhood.

Sidewalk Labs has proposed an independent civic data trust be set up to establish rules around data use, make it open and accessible to people while offering privacy protection and ensure that Sidewalk Labs does not receive any special status or rights when it comes to data access. Doctoroff said the report will also contain information on how much the company intends to profit from Quayside.
