In the nine years since I moved downtown I feel as if this is the tenth time I've had to sign a petition for LRT. This is the future of urban planning. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to take outside money and invest it in our already booming urban core.
My request to council: look at the people and ideas that have revitalized the downtown core over the last ten years. What are they saying?
Not what are the people saying who are always cautious and afraid and negative about bold new ideas, what are the people saying who have been fighting for our cities core for the long haul?
We are all saying the same thing: let's do this. Once and for all!
And then when we all agree to do it, let's never revote on this again!
