Recycling Issues

Please define progressive.

In saying Waterloo Region has been progressive on many issues, I meant that local government have, for the most part, had the courage/foresight to proceed with many projects that were contentious at the time they were implemented (Conestoga Parkway, investing in rapid transit, imposing an urban growth boundary) but were meant to improve the quality of life for future generations. I guess the term "progressive" is largely subjective based on the person's views on various issues.

I think the RoW has indeed been progressive and forward looking. This was countenanced by the City councils which are anything but. Compare for example the dismal quality of transit while it was Kitchener Transit, and the amazing turnaround the moment RoW took over.

For the last ten years Kitchener and Waterloo city councils have come up to speed a bit, but they still have a ways to go.
