Thes councillors are voting and pushing through all kinds of developements and other issues – when reviewing on each subject those councillors who have tremendous experience are saying no and the newbies are saying yes without taking into consideration the implications of traffic congestion in a city which has already reduced most streets to one lane due to the bike lanes. I am concerned how emergency vehicles ever get through to an emergency – Wharf Street being a perfect example – bike lanes are to reduce emissions and yet we idle as we attempt to drive down any of these streets.

I hope in the study on Council remuneration they are only looking at other similarly sized cities.
