this is how the city is run these days. suburban councillors deny us a chance for safe, complete streets because their residents who all fill radio air-waves and letter-to-editor pages with their constant reminders that they 'never go downtown', wont let us get rid of our dangerous 5-lane freeways.

they won't allow residential care facilities in their suburban hoods, but will continue to pile them on top of each other downtown.

they'll spend tens of millions on roundabouts, highway interchanges and filling potholes, but argue for hours and kill previously approved budget items for a few hundred thousand dollars towards downtown grocery stores or Gore pedestrian projects.

they refuse to spend a dime for LRT because 'my residents won't benefit from it' (yea, increased development and taxes won't help their taxpayers. really bright) but they'll spend hundreds of millions on highways that downtown residents won't ever use....and billions more on sprawl around a pathetic, dead airport.

Give em credit - they're consistent.
