Observations from afar (Regina):

I have not read the entire thread and this may have been covered, but the referendum seems like a total political abdication of responsibility. How would you feel if you lived/worked on or near an arterial street and the City decided to let the whole population vote on whether you could walk across your own street. That is not how its supposed to work.

The City administration and perhaps Council should be making these decisions, not voters. Voters should decide who is the mayor and council and hold them accountable for their decisions.

Can you imagine if they held a City-wide vote on whether a neighbourhood should get a new arena or other amenity. Would such things ever get built?
