The voters of Waterloo turfed out that council and its process in favour of open communication and environment-first decision-making rather than secretive vested-interest accommodation. When on June 28, 2004, I attended city council's public meeting on essentially the last bit of deci- sion-making which will allow developers to file development plans - the point of no return H l was dismayed to hear Mayor (Herb) Epp refer to citizen input as "chatter" from the audience in his opening remarks. Shades of councils past came to mind. City staff were previousfy directed in writing to find alternatives which would not connect the Columbia Street extension to theWilmot Line. This they did. along with other alternatives. in contravention of their directive, which did and do tanned the two roads including some which incor- porale a traffir circle.
