I predict it will take a minimum of 5 years to address the truck situation on Main.
Hamilton DOES understand these basic things, but refuses to do anything about it because their elections donors will get upset.
I'm interested to see how deep the Spec gets tomorrow when scoping out the problems at city hall....they can end this series after that piece, because that's where it all starts and ends. City hall is brutal. Councillors have no vision beyond their next paycheck and city staff are comfortable with their well-paying jobs doing the least amount of work possible. That's the main reason they support BRT over LRT. Less work, less hassle.
Oh ya, and less redevelopment, less transit users, less tax assessment growth etc.... they don't care though. It's all about not having to work too hard tomorrow.
