This isn't directed directly at you and tool is such a harsh word but...
An earlier poster said something along the lines of any mayor that has made his daily routine easier is doing a good job. On that note, I can't fault him at all on his decision. I'm sure if I used Stoney trail, Elbow drive or any of his other big interchange projects I too would be excited with the work he has done. However, what about those living in older developments, those closer to the downtown core. What has he done to improve my daily routine?
Sure, LRT ridership has increased over the last 6 years but so has it's cost and at the same time I've certainly seen my level of service decrease. I've also seen the roads around my place be narrowed just to limit traffic that was, in my opinion, never a real issue. The idea is to push public transit use but somewhere along the way they forgot to increase funding to public transit.
I've also heard talk of corruption but I'll wait to hear more facts on that one before i comment. However, I wouldn't be the least surprised if Bronco did in fact have a few developers hands in his pockets. Bronco has a lot of campaign money from sources he refuses to reveal. A developer stands to gain a lot from a mayor who has shown that he will allow developers to continue building outwards while providing them all of the necessary infrastructure for these developments to flourish.
