Ah, those were the days, when living near the zoo meant you were in “Ward fifteen and a half.”
I still think Council reduction was a mistake. We should have gone back to 33 members or maybe more. Council Chambers can seat at least 400 people–how about proportional representation for anyone who has the support of a thousand voters?
The 21-member Council has been plauged by bossism for decades. Shrinking it will only increase the power of the bosses.
