A historical satire by actors who did little research, from theedmontonian.com and EdmontonPolitics.com team.
We’ve got a mayor and council ready to create new LRT lines in Edmonton. We’re looking at some of the largest transit expansions in our history, and there are calls for more bicycle lanes. Clearly, we need to hear from a mayor that helped get us our LRT line and one that loves private automobiles.
In this forum:
Mayor Ivor Dent – The Commonwealth Games and our LRT system can be linked back to Dent
Mayor Matthew (Mat) “Warden” McCauley – Edmonton’s first mayor
Mayor William Short – One of the City of Edmonton’s first mayors, and one of the first people in Edmonton to ever own a car
After the jump you’ll find out what they think, and it should provide great debate since we’ve got one of the first car-owners and a mayor who helped bring us LRT.
