The vote count for mayor alone at my local polling station took almost two hours. Knack topped Cartmell by a three to one margin with others further back.

It was an honour and privilege to have worked closely with Raj at the Leg. A very principled politician and human being. Condolences to Swinder and all who loved him.

The AECOM Report 2nd Street SW option includes an elevated station at Eau Claire Market, the same terminus as the previous tunnel option. Yet, presumably to make their costing work, the UCP wants to stop the elevated track at 7th Avenue thereby creating their own version of a stub line Downtown.

From where I sit, as a McCauley resident, not allowing large scale encampments to become entrenched has improved safety and security in our neighborhood. Downtown should not be looked at in isolation from surrounding neighborhoods where large scale encampments were previously located.
