ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(07-14-2018, 05:55 PM)creative Wrote: I forgot, what is the definition of "the elite"?

A size of letter in typewriting, with 12 characters to the inch. Tongue

Or, you can refer to the most powerful, rich, or talented people within a particular group, place, or society as the elite, or you could say a select part of a group that is superior to the rest in terms of ability or qualities.

Amazing what you can find on Google. Big Grin

And these were the people who were creating a $700+ million dollar decision, without any care or thought to anyone who may have been negatively affected by such construction of the LRT, in an unneeded way. Had these people paid any attention to detail, any attention to the people living in that area, and had any ability to put themselves into other peoples shoes, this pedestrian crossing would have been put in place before testing of the LRT and before the fence was installed. It would have been part of the design.

I realize that this sounds blunt, but that's exactly what this was, and is. But the people who were heading this, that 'cream of the crop', goes home every night, in their luxury automobile, to their large homes, because they really didn't care.

I'm not bitter of these, I drive a car, own my home, have a .gov job, though not close to 'elite' level. I just feel that once again, those in charge, failed to do their job properly, and at something that most clowns would have thought of.
