    Transit City Details

    sure! i think that in a local polity change is more easily affected. a strong, articulate and logical opposition to they very specific issues i raised in the latter could be extremely effective, at least insofar as delaying/moving down the list the disastrous sheppard LRT concept. i shall...

    I wrote this letter 2 days ago and sent it to Giambrone, as well as John Barber at the G+M and the Star's city section. I was also thinking that it might be interesting to the NOW and EYE people. ---------- Dear Councillor Giambrone, While I have never before written to a member of...
