It is possible that the lively discussion<\/a> on our two recent posts<\/a> about perimeter seating has not been for naught — the TTC has voted against the plan. It also seems the revolt to oust Moscoe<\/a> died at the commission, with a 5-3 vote in favour of keeping the bombastic TTC chair.<\/p>\n

Fellow commissioner Mark Grimes reseigned shortly after the vote saying, “Obviously my voice is not going to be heard.” I’d hate to lecture Mr. Grimes but your voice was heard — you were part of the three who voted against Moscoe. It was counted and you ended up on the losing end. You may not have gotten what you wanted, but that’s part of living in a democracy.<\/p>\n

I also suspect Mr. Grimes is doing this to make some headlines and look like he is doing something at council (he has been accused of doing, well, next to nothing). He may also be trying to save his butt from the resident revolt<\/a> surrounding the skateboard park in a sensitive ecological area of south Etobicoke.<\/p>\n
