ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit

Because that is the mess that we have created by having multiple levels of municipal politics.  At the end of the day this is a Regional project, but it goes through Cambridge neighbourhoods and Cambridge streets. Like it or not Cambridge needs to back this project for it so move forward. I long for the day that we are 1 municipality, but unfortunately I seem to be in the minority. 

It doesn't help that at least 2 of the 3 cambridge representatives on Regional council are actively opposed to the LRT. Not sure where pam stands on the issue.
