So today the Regional Transportation Master Plan was deferred. A big reason for that was Berry Vrbanovic taking the region to task on the use of some of their language as well as on the fact that they felt the region should look to be a leader in both new mobility and minimum grid.
This means it will come back to council in mid-June. I am guessing they aren't going to be able to make massive changes but I am also hopeful they will. Many of the regional councillors around the horseshoe made it evidently clear that changes needed to be made to the way we build roads.
What irked me the most being there was hearing a member of staff remind everyone that "Roads are for traffic" at the end of the day. The master plan in itself actually seems okay, but the implementation has been awful, specifically on regional roads.
