Apart from (very recently) his desire to increase the bike speed in certain areas.
This is the only time I can remember his input being more than a giant stick in the mud.

I've been critical of him in the past, but I think I can now say that his time as mayor was very good for the City of Calgary. He too care of alot of things that desperately needed doing (FFS, how much longer was Glenmore and Elbow going to be an intersection with Duerr in control?), and he never was afraid of making unpopular decisions.
I like the quotes in the linked article, and I couldn't agree more that the last thing we need is a guy like McIvor making Duerr look like a dynamic visionary.
A city is not just a bunch of houses and roads. I hope our next mayor knows that. Bronco did, but he really focused on houses and roads. Maybe the next few years should see a bit of focus on rec type stuff. I propose and zip line from the top of the Bow, to the top of the Center Street Bridge.
