2018 London Municipal Election

[Djeffery]

Let's not get crazy and say "Londoners voted against BRT". There is hardly a large showing of that. Paul Cheng was the loudest anti-BRT guy, and he got barely half of the votes he got last time. Stephen Orser and Bud Polhill were popular former councillors running on "NO BRT" and they got soundly defeated. Paul Van Meerbergen was a former multi term councillor and one who consistenly got among the highest vote totals of candidates across the city. He didn't lose by much in 2014, so it's no big shock he regained the seat, even if he didn't campaign against BRT. Several of the pro-BRT candidates were re-elected. And I believe that at least 2 of the new councillors are pro-BRT as well.

I don't think the plan is dead at all. I think they might make a couple tweaks to it here and there, to "fix what was wrong with it before", enough to say they had a hand in it.
