-An MUT along Lackner
These are all good. Still, it’s weird that cities apparently need assistance from senior levels of government to build these. None of these feel like matters of provincial or federal concern to me: they are all exactly the sort of project our local municipalities are supposed to be responsible for.
Remember, as Michael Harris made clear in a tweet today, the safety of cyclists and the convenience of people without a car is discretionary spending. This is the view of our regional council and it's fucking exhausting.
