must be something in the water in Hamilton.
How the heck did we get stuck with one of the most backward, hick-minded universities in North America?

Most universities are centres of forward thinking and some are bastions of ridiculously liberal thinking....here, we have a school that, much like city hall, is a bastion of 1950's thinking. Now students have to make the horrendous and horrible walk from Main St in front of the Medical Centre (I say that from experience...it's HORRIBLE in any weather) if they use the B-Line instead of being conviently dropped off in the middle of campus.
I love how Mac uses the 'pedestrian-only' zone as their reason for this.
The same university that just constructed a mega-lane, car-centric new entrance coming right into campus.
I would LOVE a UofT campus to come to town and expose these pea-brains at Mac for what they really are.
Now is a good time to begin to discuss bus-only lanes on Main Street from Paradise to Cootes Drive. There's a billion lanes in front of Mac. It would be perfect for bus-lanes. If they're going to move the B-Line to such horrible environs, at least give them one tiny stretch of car-free driving.
