Maintenance, usually not the most glamorous of political issues, is now on the minds of the premier and the mayor as the poor state of everything from roads to water mains can no longer be ignored.
I suspect we are, collectively, underplaying the story about the emergency repairs needed to the Atwater main – I suspect there have been some very tense briefings in the last few days.
A friend of mine used to work for the STM. We walked by the big construction site on Berri the other day and he said they were talking about the job over a decade ago and were dreading having to propose it to the city because it was going to be such an intrusive site that would take a long time to get done.
