Perhaps the City simply decided that LRT was not a reason to have a complete moratorium on construction. Sure, it's awkward, but life goes on.
It's not an accusation. It's a question. It's a valid question too because there was no urgency to add to the chaos that LRT construction has already unleashed on Uptown. (I say that, not as a frustrated driver, but as a pedestrian who has to find a new way around all these obstacles almost on a daily basis.) And if it's an inflammatory question then it reflects just how much I'm burned up about the bozos who made these decisions.
Don't misunderstand. I'm 100% in favour of the LRT. I'm also in favour of intensification. But I'm totally against and aghast at the ham-fisted, arrogant way in which the city is trying to do both simultaneously. It's madness at best (or could it be bribery?)
