This is why I HATE politics.
You had anti-cycling guys complaining about cost for downtown bike lanes, whose wards were on the outskirts of the city.
The guys wanting the cycling lanes are now the guys complaining about the ring road, which just happens to affect the areas of the anti cycling guys.
We also have people (the mayor, nonetheless) "making note" that the cost is similar to an LRT lane to another portion of the city.
WTF is the point of all this? We need the effing road done, and it's VITAL to so much mkore than just the city (as Ken pointed out). Pick your battles (mayor and aldermen), because this whole "debate" and comments REEK of a kindergarten sandbox argument.
I mean hey, maybe there's a reason for all this, but it sure comes across as a petty council squabble.
