If the policy of some is "let's cheap out on Cambridge so we can do the nice thing in KW later", then this Region is cooked politically. City-building for me, but not for thee. I can't adequately explain how insulting this is - as if a few bridges over flat, seismically-stable land is akin to building a new Ancient Wonder of the World. But I get it, wealthy tech and university people need their train and the more modest working people on Hespeler Road should just settle for a bus because they don't deserve the same as us. (...)
Far too many posts for me, but as far as I recall, the interest in LRT among the Cambridge mayor and council was on the low side for quite a long time. Doug Craig voted against the LRT in the first place, did they not? And the Cambridge council rejected at least one of the Phase 2 plans. So, I do think part of this is frustration with Cambridge, too.
