I think it matters where the blame is attached. If the culprit of said ugly metal tree installation isn’t the City, then I think we can leave the guys at Dufferin Street out of it – and from what I’ve heard, that seems to be the case.

Keeping with that theme, I certainly believe that any money spent on encouraging bike use in our city would be great – but again, lets see who actually spent the money on our lovely “tree bike racks” first, before we start allocating where money should be better spent.

Gina: I don’t think it matters where the money came from, what does matter is that whomever planned this out dropped the ball. As as for your bike comment, well wouldn’t the money be better spent on bike racks which promote healty living, less driving, and help to curb the process of sprawl? Just asking.

And I am glad you think the posters are a form of action.

Re: Metal Trees…I’m pretty sure that city money wasn’t spent on those things…it was a Mainstreet London initiative.

PS-I think they make great places to lock up my bike – that’s about it.

I will look into this and comment at a later date.

Ideas are good. Action is better…kinda how I feel about the white posters all over downtown.
