I think our local board should save the council the $72 Million they want to spend on bike tracks in the Westmere area. Yesterday Gen Sage, chairperson and 3rd ranked C&R caucus member again whipped with City Vision and voted yes to bike tracks in the full knowledge that the budget committees at council will cull them. Not a very astute political move by Gen Sage to cross the floor for nothing. We still have two years of this nonsense.
