Guess what, cars are part of the urban fabric of a city.
Its hilarious that Gregor and his green weenies seem totally oblivious to the coming of better hybrids and electric cars. They're so fixated on their hate for the automobile that they will totally destroy the infrastructure for it and downtown will wither away to irrelevance.

We are not attempting to be Toronto or any other number of cities where people live in the burbs and travel into downtown for work everyday.

I often wonder why this so-called Liveable Region Strategy isn't recognized for the absolute disaster that it is in terms of transit planning.
