Subject: Process City Must Follow...

Hi Pierre:

That’s what I “sort of” thought, but frankly didn’t know. I received feedback that suggested 6 months was too long to wait, but couldn’t offer much explanation in reply. Your note will help educate people on how city hall works...

This is important because the perception is that the City pulled the former pedestrian features out at the “snap of their fingers” because one day everything just disappeared. Consequently, there is a feeling that things can go back in with an equal “snap of the fingers.”

I’d hope that at the end of the day my efforts and web site will educate people to the fact that: (1) that you can go to your councillor and be listened too, (2) that getting involved can produce results and that (3) the cynicism people feel for politics and politicians is at times miss-placed.

If Michael Walker would like to communicate with the residents of Oxton-Oriole regarding our issue, I would be happy to post his comments on my web site.

Thanks, mark
