BRT is back!

from The Craig Needles Podcast · host Blackburn Media

The 2016 Instagram trend seems to have made its way to London City Hall. Bus rapid transit is back! Council is asking the province for cash to put a bus rapid transit route on Wharncliffe Road that runs by Western and to Masonville Mall. Good idea? Or have we gone down this road before? Craig looks at that story with London Deputy Mayor Shawn Lewis, United Way Elgin Middlesex CEO Kelly Ziegner and former Green Party candidate Carol Dyck on a brand new Friday Round Table. On the 433rd episode of the podcast, the panel also looks at council's upcoming debate over the winter response to homelessness, and a new ranking that says London has the 11th best quality of life in Canada (we did it!). The Craig Needles Podcast is powered by Downtown London and the Covent Garden Market. Follow Craig on Twitter/X, Bluesky and Facebook.
