Critical Reflection #5:

            From the beginning of September right until now, the Waterloo LRT debate has been going on and not it seems that a resolution has been met.  On October 27, a regional election was held in Waterloo Region. The winner of the mayoral race for The City of Waterloo was Dave Jaworsky. Dave stated after he heard that he had won the mayoral election he promised as mayor he would “ensure the project comes in on-time and on-budget” (Jackson, 2014). This is a major development, an actual guarantee that the LRT will be built in Waterloo Region. Not only is this a guarantee, but earlier in the term construction has begun on Caroline Street in Waterloo to begin installing the LRT station near the Uptown Shops in Waterloo (Record Staff, 2014). This is a very exciting time to live in Waterloo Region. The creation of the LRT will change how residence moves around the city. The projected completion date for the LRT is projected to be in 2017. That will be my final year of University, and I can’t wait to ride the LRT to school.
