Support for Remembrance Day ceremony JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com This year’s Remembrance Day ceremony at the Kew Gardens cenotaph on Queen Street East in the Beach promises to be an extra special one.

In commemoration of the

75th anniversary of the Second World War and the 100th anniversary of the First World War, Veterans Affairs Canada through its Community Engagement Partnership Fund recently awarded Community Centre 55 (CC55) $2,500 to augment this year’s event.

The exact plans for the Nov. 11 ceremony have yet to be determined.

The funding announcement took place on Aug. 6 on the front steps of the Upper Beach-area community centre.

That afternoon, Veterans Affairs Canada also announced

‘Officer Rob’ moves on from 55 Division

perfect beach day

East-end native honoured to serve his own community

“

JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com

I truly feel like I’m blessed because I got to spend my career in a part of town that means so much to me.

A

fter more than 25 years of service, most of which were at 55 Division, Rob McDonald has turned in his badge and hung up his hat.

A fixture in the city’s east end, “Officer Rob”, as he’s affectionately known, has been a steady presence in the community since 1989 turning up at countless events and meetings always willing to do what he can to improve the lives of those who live here.

It’s not a far stretch to say McDonald knows the city’s east end like the back of his hand.

He knows where to eat, where to shop as well as who lives and what happened where.

It’s one of the things, he says, he’ll miss most about working at 55 Division.

“I’ve met a lot of great people along the way.

There’s always something on the go,” he said, during a recent interview.

“I truly feel like I’m blessed because I got to spend my career in a part of town that means so much to me.”

McDonald, who is in his late 40s, said leaving the Toronto Police Service was a six-month decision he didn’t make lightly and one that is bittersweet.

“It wasn’t an overnight decision. I didn’t have an epiphany,” he said.

“I’ve spent more than half my life serving the residents of Toronto. I want to try something different, give other people opportunities to further their careers.”

McDonald said he’s seen so many changes over the years in the community, most of them for the better.

“I’m leaving the community in good hands,” he said, expressing his gratitude to those who offered him well wishes and kind words in the last week.

“To me, that’s the true mark of whether you’ve made an impression.”

Toronto police Const. Rob McDonald on set at CityTV has retired from the Toronto Police Service after 25 years.

For now, McDonald said he’d do some social media consulting.

“I’m no more than a tweet away. I’m also working on a couple of apps.

We’ll see what else comes.”

McDonald is east-end Toronto through and through.

He was born at Toronto East General Hospital and grew up, for the most part, on Rhodes Avenue where his grandparents lived.

He went on to graduate from Monarch Park Collegiate at Coxwell Avenue, just south of Danforth Avenue, before heading off to Durham College to study sports administration.

Before long, he was back in the area working as a police officer at 55 Division.

There’s no place he’d rather work, he shared during a recent interview.

“I came back because this is home,” said McDonald, who aside from a few stints working at police headquarters and for other bureaus, always

worked at 55 Division.

McDonald, who in his teens played Junior A hockey and lacrosse, said he got into policing because of the team aspect of the job, not to mention the opportunities it offered to get out in the community and interact with people from all walks of life.

“Chasing bad guys is fun,” he laughed.

“Seriously, I always loved being part of a team so joining the force was actually a godsend. I knew how to organize. I knew how to take the lead on stuff.

A strong believer in Sir Robert Peel’s principles for an ethical police force of “we are the community and the community is us”, McDonald said he always put a personal emphasis on the community throughout his career in policing.

“I really believe in getting people, especially youth, active and engaged,” he said.

Throughout his career in policing, McDonald said he’s has been through

good and bad times as a uniform officer, a detective constable in the criminal investigation bureau and most recently 55 Division’s crime prevention and social media officer.

“I really embraced (social media) because I saw it as another avenue to engage the community in a really timely and efficient way,” said McDonald, who spearheaded the division’s Wanted Wednesday program as well as most recently #PromProject911, a police-led and community supported initiative where teen girls in the city’s east end could get a free prom dress.

“Social media has really allowed me some creativity.”

McDonald also worked at countless festivals and large-scale events across the city and served as a media officer for the G-20 Toronto Summit in 2010 and the Pride Festival.

At one point, he was one of the only police officers in Toronto allowed to serve while wearing rollerblades.

“It’s been a good run,” he said.

Policing is a family affair for McDonald.

Two of his uncles were police officers as is a younger cousin.

His sons, ages 19 and 21, are also considering getting into the field.

“It’s what I lovingly refer to as the family business,” he smiled.

“If it’s what (my sons) want to get into I will support them. It’s a tough field, lots of sacrifices but for the betterment of the community.”

Tapping into city’s citizen engagement

Proudly serving the communities of The Beach • East End-Danforth Greenwood-Coxwell South Riverdale Woodbine Corridor Beach Hill

T

he fabulous attendance at this summer’s festivals in Toronto is a great indication of our willingness to participate in community activities.

Now the challenge is how to turn those once-a-year adventures into community enrichment throughout the year.

The city is rich with artistic, cultural and culinary festivals – a great opportunity for community-building.

This past weekend’s Taste of the Danforth, which organizers say attracted a staggering 1.6 million people over three days, is festival participation at its best. Looking ahead to this weekend, there’s the York-Eglinton International Street Festival taking place locally. And, of course, the Canadian National Exhibition kicks off its two-and-a-half-week run tomorrow.

Good turnouts mean people are engaged.

We see it here at our website, insidetoronto.com, where our our view community calendar of events seen a significant increase in Make the most has events posted by the community in the increased number who of our cultural and have searched the site for events diversity this summer. To see our events listings, to submit an event or find out more, visit bit.ly/torontocalendar for everything you want to know.

How do we take that obvious citizen engagement we see and get it applied on a more year-round basis?

Imagine the possibilities. Cultural events happen throughout the year. These are opportunities to learn more about the city and the people who live here. It’s more than just festival life – it’s the lifeblood of the city.

Now couple that with cooking courses offered in a myriad of locations.

So challenge yourself. Pick one culture unfamiliar to yourself and learn to make a meal from that culture.

Seek out one artist or musician and become familiar with their style of music. Learn the origin of the peoples and come to appreciate why people of other ethnicities chose to call Toronto home.

The exposure that’s taking place right now of different cultures in Canada’s most diverse city is a critical piece of Toronto’s continuing evolution.

We are rich in culture. Make the most of the opportunity. Find out more about the communities that make up the city – and find avenues for personal growth in the experiences we share, in the teaching of our children and a growing appreciation of Toronto as the city it is today.

Election still very much Rob Ford’s to lose

D

oes anyone in Toronto love Olivia Chow or John Tory as much as Irene Borecky and thousands like her love Rob Ford?

That could be the key question in this fall’s election, which is still Ford’s to lose.

Standing in line at Ford Fest recently, hearing people seriously compare the man to Jesus Christ, Pierre Trudeau and, strangest of all, David Crombie, I was struck by how unconditional is the love Ford’s fans give him.

Some of us want to think politics isn’t a personality contest, and that the person with the best ideas, the best political record, should be elected Toronto’s mayor.

That’s not how it works with most people, who vote politicians in because they like them.

And Ford’s core supporters love him, many thinking, as Borecky does, that other politicians “are

mike adler the city fakes,” and Ford’s different.

“He’s one of us. He’s like us. He’s fallible like the rest of us,” said Borecky’s friend Maria F., who didn’t give her full name.

“We’re not judgemental people.”

Actually, many Ford fans are judgemental people.

They judge him innocent, and others guilty. And many point to transgressions or admissions of drug use by other politicians, seeing a double standard applied to Ford.

Standing with Ford Nation flags in her hair at the somehow-nota-campaign-event in Scarborough’s Thomson Park, Borecky called Tory, a man she said she voted for in the past, a “spendand-tax Liberal.”

She said the former Ontario Progressive

“

Ford reminds Ford fans of themselves: they feel they’ve been cheated by the city somehow; they’ve made mistakes, battled addictions, or felt pressured to quit something, but kept going.

Conservative leader’s decision to put his campaign headquarters at Bay and Wellesley streets, “where the Bay Street money is,” was stupid. Based on how it looks, she may be right.

Other people in the park gave only vague reasons why Ford should be reelected; such as he tries to keep taxes low, or “hasn’t stolen a cent from us.”

Mostly, though, you sense Ford reminds Ford fans of themselves: they feel they’ve been cheated by the city somehow; they’ve made mistakes,

battled addictions, or felt pressured to quit something, but kept going.

The mayor’s scandals have blurred into a vague smudge that can be dismissed by the faithful as no big deal.

Love for Ford will survive an October defeat, since, as Ford Fest-goer Pat Mason explained, none of the man’s opponents, should they beat him, can manage the city without his help.

“If he doesn’t win, he’s not going to lose,” Mason predicted.

“We will still look at him as the mayor.”

Thelma Casimir, holding a hamburger, said she’s praying for him, and pronounced him perfect.

“He went through hell. My man is back in shape.”

Tory, or Chow, need some of that same adoration if they’re going to win.

Beach pair hope 7,200km road rally will be a Triumph JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com East-end residents Tim Burgess and Jan Frolic’s summer vacation is a far departure from their usual cottage trip up north.

Instead of sipping coffee by the lake, the couple will be hitting the road in their signal red 1961 Triumph TR4 convertible for an ambitious 7,200-kilometre trek through Washington State, British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska.

This weekend, Burgess and Frolic will be making their way to Vancouver, B.C. to retrieve their “little red beast”, which was shipped to the west coast a few weeks ago.

The fun begins Monday when they kick off the first 500-plus kilometre leg of the 30th Alcan 5000 road rally, a challenging nine-day event that wraps up Tuesday, Aug. 26 in Anchorage, Alaska.

Each section of the race is timed to the hundredth

of a second and the goal is to complete each day’s route within an allotted time frame.

“It’s all about accuracy,” said Burgess, who has owned a number of old sports cars over the years and used to enjoying rallying back in the United Kingdom.

The Alcan 5000 is by far the longest rally he’s ever done.

Frolic, on the other hand, is a rallying newbie.

“I’ve never rallied before – ever,” she smiled during a recent interview at her charming Upper Beach home near Kingston Road and Silver Birch Avenue.

“It’s a chance to chat and have fun. It’s also a chance to meet some new friends and like-minded adventurers.”

Burgess will serve as the pilot, while Frolic is happy to be the navigator.

With no radio or air conditioning, they’ll surely be in for quite an adventure.

Frolic and Burgess are avid driving enthusiasts. Most weekends and holidays they

hit the open and off road in their beloved “tiny old British sports car.”

“We just love to go out in our stupid old car all the time,” said Burgess, who has lived near Kingston Road and Woodbine Avenue for 14 years.

About a year and a half ago, Burgess said he was itching to go for a longer road

trip possibly across Canada or up north. That’s when he came across the Alcan 5000 event.

“We’d been looking for something on a bigger scale. ... I read (the information) out to Jan and we signed up that day,” he said.

“It’s absolutely an adventure of a lifetime and I hope there’s many, many more,”

Frolic added.

The couple’s vehicle is registered in the vintage class.

“We’re the oldest car by miles,” she laughed, adding they’re also one of about a dozen Canadian participants in the rally.

To prepare for the big event, Burgess rebuilt the vehicle’s engine as well as the exhaust system and did all manner of preventative maintenance to ensure their ride makes it to the end of the rally in one piece.

“I’ve tried to consider what might break down,” Burgess mused.

“We hope to win, of course, but at least we hope to get to the end.”

The Triumph’s tiny trunk is full of tools and spare parts as well as a first aid kit mean-

ing Burgess and Frolic must pack very light as there’s little room in the two-seater for personal effects.

An important part of the adventure is the funds as well as awareness they’re raising for the Road Hockey to Conquer Cancer, an annual dawn-to-dusk fundraising event with the proceeds going towards The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation.

So far, Burgess and Frolic have raised upwards of $2,500 of their $4,500 goal. Anyone interested in donating can visit http://goo.gl/AjtiQX or http://goo.gl/8Ek67y On Sunday, Sept. 21, the couple will be taking part in the Toronto Triumph Club’s 31st annual British Car Day at Bronte Provincial Park in Oakvile.

“We will be there with all of our pictures from our trip,” she said.

ID rules for student fares wNew High school and middle school students will no longer need photo IDs to receive discounted fares, the transit commission announced this week.

The policy applies to students between the ages of 13 and 19, although TTC staff will still have the option to ask for some form of photo ID, either TTC or government issued, for proof of age.

Post-secondary school students will continue to require photo ID to purchase and use special Metropasses available at a discounted rate from colleges and universities.

The new rule goes into effect Sept. 1. plans to add more bus services wGO With September fast approaching, GO Transit has announced it will add more service by the end of the month.

More bus trips are promised by the regional transit agency, including a new weekend bus route

rahul gupta TO in TRANSIT between York University and the University of Waterloo when the modified GO schedule goes into effect Saturday, Aug. 30.

For more information about the scheduled changes, visit www.gotransit.com corridor art exhibit wRail

A new art exhibit by University of Toronto urban design students highlights the development potential of the West Toronto Rail Corridor.

Tapping the Potential of the West Toronto Rail Corridor features planning designs and proposals created by the students intended to better connect the corridor with surrounding neighbourhoods.

The corridor currently serves local GO and subway operations, and as of 2015 the Union Pearson Express air-rail link. The corridor also includes the West

Toronto Railpath.

The exhibition is at Urbanspace Gallery, on the ground floor of the 401 Richmond St. W. building until Sept. 20. Visit www. urbanspacegallery.ca

Committee formed to upgrade Kew Gardens cenotaph >>>from page 1 to honour the sacrifices of veterans.

It is important that we, as Canadians living in a strong, free and democratic country, take time to remember and recognize the generations of courageous men and women who were there for our nation when we needed them the most,” said Pierre Polievre, the federal Minister of State (Democratic Reform), who attended the funding announcements on behalf of

Minister of Veterans Affairs Julian Fantino.

“It is especially important we dedicate ourselves to remembering the sacrifices.”

Local representatives from three levels of government as well as from three local legions also attended the east-end event.

Beaches-East York MP Matthew Kellway could not attend in person, but sent a prepared statement.

“The veterans of this country, up to and including those who fought

in Afghanistan, remain deep in the heart and consciousness of the people of Beaches-East York. The people of this riding won’t and can’t forget them,” he wrote. “Canada’s veterans are honoured here daily in the activities of the four Legions and the Naval Club that call Beaches-East York home, in the work of those who resurrected the Boys of Malvern and in the work of Centre 55, which is at the heart of the community.”

Newly-elected MP Arthur Potts said this funding announcement

Public Notice – Route Update Iroquois Markham

has special meaning as his father, several uncles and his grandfather all served in the world wars.

“I grew up in a family that celebrates veterans’ courage,” he said, noting Nov. 11 is a day off school for the kids in his family.

Ward 32 Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon said Beaches-East York is passionate about honouring veterans, especially those from the community, on Remembrance Day. “The sky’s the limit for our Remembrance Day ceremony and also our monument,” she said.

Ja s o n B a l g o p a l , c h a i r o f Community Centre 55, thanked Veterans Affairs for its support and underlined the importance of honouring those who “thought of others before themselves.”

“Our community, our country would not be what it is (without them),” he said at the announcement.

Recently, several east-end resi-

dents have also come together to form a committee to upgrade the Kew Gardens cenotaph in honour of the First World War’s centennial year as well as the 75th anniversary of World War Two. The group, headed by Bob Murdoch, Gene Domagala, Nancy Culver and Carole Stimmell with the support of local elected officials, is aiming to add a blank panel to the monument to honour those who served during other conflicts and peacekeeping missions.

They’re also raising funds and awareness to restore the deteriorating cenotaph.

Beach artist Jennifer Klein has donated a colourful painting of the cenotaph, which is being auctioned off to the highest bidder. The winner will be announced just before the Nov. 11 ceremony.

Existing Natural Gas Pipeline Existing Compressor Station Existing Compressor Station (additional compression to be added)

TransCanada would like to take this opportunity to update you on the Eastern Mainline Project.

The proposed project is needed to meet firm service commitments following the proposed transfer of a portion of the Canadian Mainline capacity to crude oil service from natural gas services as a part of the Energy East Project. The project is also required to meet growing market demand for new supplies of natural gas from the U.S. Northeast.

TransCanada is proposing to add new natural gas pipeline facilities to the existing Canadian Mainline system in Ontario. These new facilities would be added in sections between Markham and the Township of South Dundas, on the southern arm of the Eastern Triangle. The preliminary scope of the project included the construction of approximately 370 km of pipeline. TransCanada has now finalized contracts with commercial shippers and determined a refined scope in order to ensure the appropriate amount of capacity is constructed to meet TransCanada’s existing and new firm contractual commitments.

The proposed project scope now includes approximately 250 km of 36 inch pipeline with the addition of nine new 11 MW compressor units to be installed at five existing compressor stations.

This project is a vital addition to the Canadian Mainline system and will provide homes, businesses, schools and hospitals in Ontario

and Quebec with a safe and reliable source of natural gas.

TransCanada has considered a number of routing options as part of the consultation process with interested landowners and stakeholders. An initial proposed route was shared in project materials that were provided at Open Houses held between May and June 2014 and during other outreach activities this year.

During the Open Houses and as part of ongoing conversations with landowners and stakeholders, we received important feedback and have refined the route for the pipeline. We are continuing our engagement efforts and welcome any additional feedback as we refine route deviations.

We welcome any questions or comments you may have.

TransCanada anticipates submitting our application to the National Energy Board in the third quarter of 2014. Engagement will be ongoing throughout the NEB review process and the construction and operation phases of the project.

For more details on the updated Eastern Mainline Project route please visit our website.

Mayor Ford wants Toronto’s streetcars phased out DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com M a y o r R o b Fo r d s a y s he wants to “phase out” Toronto’s fleet of streetcars and build subways to solve all of Toronto’s gridlock problems – including, it seemed last Thursday, traffic problems on King Street that a staff report says are caused in

large part by streetcar loading delays.

“I said it from day one – streetcars are causing congestion,” said Ford in last week’s media scrum.

“We are going to have to start phasing them out.

I know we just bought a lot of new ones but we cannot be investing in any more.”

Ford noted that at one

point Toronto had contemplated building subways under Queen Street and King Street, and maintained that his oft-repeated promise to build subways is the only solution to traffic congestion.

Ford spoke in reference to an interim operational study of the King Street streetcar, going to the August meet-

ing of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee.

The King car is the TTC’s busiest surface route, carrying 60,000 passengers on a weekday. The report looks at causes for delays on the line, and notes that the biggest cause is the loading and unloading time at stops.

The city and TTC are looking at a variety of ways to

minimize those delays.

Ford maintained the best way to eliminate the delays was to eliminate streetcars and build more subways.

Small tax increase Ford insisted that subways could be paid for with a tax increase of a quarter of one per cent.

In a statement released following Ford’s scrum, mayoral candidate Olivia Chow refuted Ford’s claims that he could build subways with such a small property tax increase.

“It is not true that underground rail can be built with a .25 per cent tax increase as Mr. Ford believes,” said Chow in a written statement.

Background The City of Toronto completed the Waterfront Sanitary Master Servicing Study (Class EA) in October 2012 to ensure that the necessary sanitary sewer infrastructure is in place in the Study Area (see map) to service strong development growth along Toronto’s waterfront. In the summer of 2013, the City transferred implementation of part of the overall project to Waterfront Toronto.

Through the study, problems/opportunities were defined, alternatives identified and evaluated, and a preferred solution determined in consultation with a variety of City of Toronto divisions, regulatory agencies and the public. The study was conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association’s Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) document (October 2000, as amended in 2007 & 2011) with a Notice of Completion issued on October 25, 2012.

The Study The Waterfront Sanitary Master Servicing Study recommended a long-term sanitary servicing strategy for the central waterfront area including East Bayfront (EBF), West Don Lands (WDL), North Keating Area (NKA), Lower Don Lands (LDL) and the Port Lands.

For the WDL and NKA, the Class EA recommendations reflected the previously developed servicing studies for WDL and associated design for the Cherry Street reconstruction. This previous planning and design included a new and larger sanitary sewer along Cherry Street, from immediately north of the CN Rail railway corridor northward to the Low Level Interceptor at Eastern Avenue.

Proposed Modifications to the Study Since completion of the Class EA, development planning for the EBF and NKA precincts has advanced, and projected sewage flows have increased. As well, a number of constraints have become defined that affect design options, including: • Proposal to install stormwater forcemains along Lake Shore Boulevard from East Bayfront to the WDL stormwater facility (Cherry Street Storm Water Facility (“SWF”) and return stormwater flow to EBF for UV treatment.

• Updated estimate of the total sludge flow that will be discharged from the SWF to the Cherry Street sanitary sewer. This flow has been increased from a previous estimate of 32 L/s, to 64 L/s.

• Presence of reinforced concrete mat foundation structure under the railway bridge at Cherry Street which affects the feasibility of upsizing the existing 400-mm sanitary sewer through the existing underpass.

• Design/construction requirements related to protection of the Gardiner Expressway structure, particularly the need to protect existing “grade beams” located underneath some portions of Lake Shore Boulevard between Bonnycastle Street and Cherry Street.

Based on these constraints and the increased projected sewage flows, a new servicing solution was needed. Additional alternative solutions were identified and evaluated resulting in modifications to the recommended solution in the Study.

The recommended solution now comprises a new gravity sewer from East Bayfront via Queens Quay Boulevard and Small Street, through the North Keating Area along Lake Shore Boulevard, to a new pumping station that would be situated at the City-owned property at 480 Lake Shore Boulevard East, with a forcemain through the Cherry Street rail underpass northward to the newly constructed sanitary sewer on Cherry Street.

The Sanitary Sewer Servicing for North Keating Area and East Bayfront East of Lower Sherbourne Street - Preliminary Design Report by XCG Consultants Ltd. (June 25, 2013) provides specific information on the proposed modifications (including the evaluation of alternatives). The report is available on Waterfront Toronto’s website at www.waterfrontoronto.ca. Hardcopies are available for viewing at Waterfront Toronto and WSP Canada; locations and addresses below.

City committee snubs council, rejects new voting machines MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com A City of Toronto committee has sidetracked the next step in starting a new municipal voting system most city councillors had supported last year.

Council voted in favour of ranked balloting, a system in which voters can record their top three choices for a political post.

If a candidate doesn’t have a majority of first-choice votes, there are “instant run-offs” in which the second-rank, and if necessary, third-rank choices are added, until one candidate shows at least 50 per cent support.

Last year’s motion asked the provincial government to let the city try the new system to elect its mayor in 2018, and all council members, including the mayor, in 2022.

Mitzie Hunter, a Liberal MPP from Scarborough, then introduced a Private Member’s Bill to allow the change.

On Monday, a spokesperson for Municipal Affairs Minister Ted McMeekin, Yanni Dagonas, said the new Liberal majority government will not re-introduce a bill this fall, but added afterwards “the ministry will consider options for giving municipalities the tools they need to consider and conduct ranked ballot elections.”

“

You’re basically thumbing your nose at city council.

– Paul Ainslie

Council also decided Toronto needs new voting machines – the equipment it bought in 1999 was said to have a 15-year lifespan – and asked the committee to ensure those machines can handle ranked balloting.

On Monday, however, the Government Management Committee decided any moves to purchase new equipment should wait until staff investigate the costs of extending the current equipment’s use for one, two or three council terms and to report on this in 2015.

Despite last year’s 25-to-16 vote by council – which could overturn the committee’s decision during its final meeting later this month – the committee was not convinced.

Etobicoke Councillor Doug Ford, brother of Mayor Rob Ford, said it was “hypocritical” for councillors “to target one office” – the mayor’s – for ranked ballots, while not changing the voting system for their own.

Most other city councillors had supported ranked ballots for Toronto, an initiative known as RaBIT, because they thought the new system,

among other things, “would promote positive campaigns,” and encourage a wider discussion of municipal issues during campaigns.

Scarborough Councillor Paul Ainslie, a supporter of RaBIT, said council made its decision after hearing from the public and debating the issue at city hall.

“You’re basically thumbing your nose at city council,” he told committee members seeking a deferral Monday on the move to purchase new equipment.

Why try to extend the life of 15-year-old voting machines, Ainslie asked, when the life of a tablet computer, “is eight or nine years, tops.”

But North York Councillor David Shiner, chairing the committee’s last meeting before the municipal election, said he thought the current system worked fine, and if changes come to municipal voting, they should be province-wide.

With so many people running for mayor, he asked, “how do you pick a first, second or third” candidate for the ballot.

Desmond Cole of the Ranked Ballot Initiative urged the councillors not to limit the many options new machines could handle.

“What we’re asking you to do is not close the door,” he said.
