This is unforgivable. How can a city of this size not have a strategic growth plan? If we don't even know where we're going, how are we ever going to get there? Without such a plan our city is fated to continue making patchwork fixes to existing problems. I hope one day we get a real
city council, instead of the amateurish
town council we are currently stuck with.
I do agree with the HSR comment. It is coming eventually, and there are still many level crossings on the CN line that will need to be corrected. Even without HSR that work should have been done years ago.
