I like how the Ti-cats were so optimistic only two or three days ago when the CP site failed, and now suddenly they are screaming about the "dysfunctional council". I think council did exactly what a group of democratic elected representatives is supposed to do, they debated the matter, they each made a personal stand, and the majority carried the day. What more could we expect from council? True, Jason Farr's stance was a bit questionable, but I think it reflects some citizens of the city itself who hold the same position - so at least it's representative. I can't fault him for that. We'll see how the rest of his term goes.

Someone above me posted that no work has been done on the velodrome, my sense was that they had a list of sites they had studied, and were in the process of picking one, so that seems roughly on par with where they were with the stadium.

My biggest concern is that we mess this up and lose the velodrome. I really, really think that velodrome, and the city, have the potential to become a cycling attraction with our central location and mix of challenging terrain, the velodrome - one of only three in north america? - would be the missing piece we need to become a world-class cycling attraction.
