I was at the Waterloo Region Crime Prevention Council Meeting yesterday. What follows are some tweets from me an others related to the meeting that I’ve compiled using Storify. The agenda included Chief Matt Torigian making a presentation on policing and crime prevention and a discussion that follows. I’ve kept it in chronological order so you may need to scroll down a bit to get to that part. But be sure to watch the dancing guy video first.
Let me know what you think of this format of post. Better yet, let me know what you think of the content.

Hi James, have you caught this article http://natpo.st/w5Hy6a. The wakeup call for planners! You will see that in the near future, LRT and ground travel for commuters will be and almost is a thing of the past.
Thanks for sharing the article Denis. I can see how gondolas could solve some transit dilemmas better than ground travel.
