If somebody ran a company like this City Council is running our city, the company would be bankrupt.

Last week platform was put down at the bus stop. People are expected to walk from the bus stop to the bus which stops in traffic. 
The day after it was put in one pylon was down. The next day, another pylon. Today not even a week later we have five pylons down. We have to really look in the picture but you can see all five there. Never mind the pylons down on Hermitage Road.

The new concrete barriers were put up and the next day one was broken. Which makes sense since the lines are so close together now if somebody slightly goes into your lane, and you want to avoid them, you’re going to run into a concrete barrier. 

As a pedestrian, I find it becoming quite dangerous. I know I now let traffic go by. I  will wait. 
 We have an area now where it’s hurry up and wait. People have to book it out of Crescents in order to get onto Hermitage Road and then they can’t go anywhere because nobody does the speed limit today. I followed someone doing 19 km an hour and I’m just stuck behind him when the speed limits is 50 km.

Yesterday on my walk, I bet I heard eight different horns honking. People are so frustrated they go slow then they just gun it the second they get by the slow person. speeding has gone up dramatically from what I’ve seen. 
Somebody’s gonna get seriously injured here.
