Great.. Good on your dad. How far is his bike commute?Again, I was just trying to think of other ways to alleviate the situation. I get that the area needs more transit, but guess what, that isn't happening for at minimum ten more years if something was approved in the next few. It isn't naive either, and it certainly isn't like telling someone with depression to get over it. It was a suggestion considering the infrastructure is already there. My dad is 70 and bikes only to work. I guess it depends how closed minded people are to modes of transport where some input from the user is required. Denmark, Norway and Sweden get considerable cold weather too and Toronto doesn't get -30 winds all that often, but it sound like you've made up your mind that this isn't a great idea for you, so I digress as I am getting off the topic of the thread anyway.
It isn't even the transit, it's everything. Keyz, you'd know this, we get almost weekly BLACKOUTS because the hydro infrastructure is overloaded and cannot handle the demand. Who the hell is running the show at the city? What is Keesmaat's team doing to add any value? How can you allow so many buildings and have no basic infrastructure such as adequate hydro supply? These are outrageous things that wouldn't even happen in Eastern Europe or China. The only time I experienced blackouts of that frequency was in Chennai... I had to go to India to experience what I do here. Fascinating and telling.
