The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is inefficiency. An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty ~ Eugene McCarthy

Because I think (hope) some of you might have an opinion on this and I'd like to hear it.

Future Trolley Operations update:

The Transportation and Public Works Committee (TPW) of Council continued discussing future trolley operations on Tuesday, July 6th. After directing several questions at City Administration, Councillor Thiele made the following motion:
1 That Edmonton Transit continue to operate trolleys.
2. That auxiliary propelled units (APUs) be added to the existing units to free up diesel buses currently used as back-up.
3. That Administration arrange to have a demonstration of low-floor trolley buses to be utilized within the system for information gathering.
4. That expansion of the trolley fleet to Northgate be considered in the 2006 budget.

Councillor Thiele’s motion will be discussed at the July 20, 2004 meeting of TPW. No decision has been made yet. City Council will make the final decision on this matter. Stay tuned.
