yep, this mess is REALLY going to hurt LRT. Young was yapping about running LRT out to his stadium site. I'll lead a revolt to city hall if they ever dare throw around the idea of running LRT for one guy when our east/west corridor is jammed to the hilt on it's buses and needs not only the enhanced transit but the ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STIMULUS more than the EM.

Young has possibly set our city back many years, or decades. It'll be fun in 10 years when free tickets to Ticat games are the norm and nobody wants to bother with the long, slow drive out to the burbs for a stadium whose shine has worn off. We've seen it time and time again in cities across North America, but once again, instead of learn from others' mistakes we are darned determined to make them ourselves and be sure to keep that 40 year cushion between us and all of the other cities that we're "competing" with. As if.
We're competing with Lackawanna and Chilliwack and in 10 years they'll both be kicking our backside.
