Wasn’t the vote in committee like pretty close to unanimous.
Not really - Berry's no motion was close but lost and then it wasn't a recorded vote to accept. From vote counts it seemed like Harris wasn't present last vote and that was the difference to make it a tie. Whole different discussion in there on why tie votes default to the status quo but anyways...
Hope the MTO comes through? First time I've ever said that.
What I found interesting:
The reason why the Mayor of Waterloo wanted it closed.
The reason why the Mayor Kitchener wanted it opened.
The ex-mayor of Cambridge voting to keep it open.
I have to admit I don't fully support the Mayor of Waterloo here. From anytime I seen her talk, she seems way off on things. Her voting NO had nothing to do with the safety of residents (Kitchener) using Lancaster for walking/cycling, but rather self-serving "something something Erb" in Waterloo.
I do get why the Kitchener Mayor wanted this. Right or wrong, I get it.
As for Doug Craig -- he's not a pro-Kitchener guy, but that vote to keep it open was a shot at Waterloo. Can't blame him for that, right or wrong.
