I made sure to put the salient message at the top in the first paragraph:
Quote:Dear Mayor and Regional Councillors,
As a resident of the the Victoria Park neighbourhood, I am very much looking forward to the new 204 iXpress, but I am concerned over its proposed stop placement, needlessly placing it far from where most people live in the area. I am writing to ask that you have staff reconsider the proposed stop placement, and to have them locate a stop at Queen/Courtland, as a relocation of their suggested stop of Mill St.
Below, you can read my rather thorough opinion on why I make this request. This issue has struck a nerve for me, and I have found myself quite passionate about it.
If I had simply said "GRT didn't listen to me! They should do it my way!" without a logical argument to back it up, I wouldn't expect them to listen to me either.
So, damned if you do, damned if you don't.
