Tartar sauce. While he makes a good point when saying that Cambridge is getting ripped off by paying for the LRT but not getting it, is valid. Everything else, really, isn't accurate. Would KW have had this construction boom with BRT? Nope, not at all. Would Cambridge been better suited for GO Train over KW? Hell to the no. You simply can't compare a community close to the GO Train in Kitchener to what Galt would have offered.
He for sure is bitter. I do hope that LRT comes to Cambridge sooner than later, and I think it will. And Cambridge will see the same growth that has happened in KW. But the LRT Phase 1 was the best option.
