The EPS states that Edmonton has a rampant speeding problem, I agree. I drive the speed limit and most days I am the slowest thing on the road. So if photo radar works so well why do we have a rampant speeding problem?

Bob replies: Because we don't have near enough photo radar out there.

Hi Bob;

What more can I say. This is the most unbelievable appalling situation we could be in.

I cannot believe one man can put a whole city on such strings.

This has totally gone to far. It is like a nightmare.

I have stated my feelings many times to various people, including the Mayor. This whole situation should not have anything to do with the city
and the tax payer. The arena is a private venture, brings nothing personally to me. Yet I am expected to pay into the fund via my tax dollar.

What happen to the 430 mill; thenm 450 mill;then 485 mill; themn 516 mill. Now concessions to the tune 6mill.

Now Katz does not want to come up with his 100mill, but wants to pay it over time, which he won't live long enough for use to see paid.

Plus wants money back from us.

Where is the original unaccounted 100 million the city was looking for. This has seemed to be lost in the new clouded issues brought forth.

Smoke and mirrors as the old saying goes.

Again we should not even be involved in this. This is private industry. Maybe all those developers wanting to build Highrises in downtown should
ask for tax dollars and concessions in the name of revitalization of the downtown.

What would reviatlize downtown is longer shopping hours to existing Edmonton center and downtown stores as well as more parking and cheaper parking.

How about a new Mayor, who has gumption to not put up with this nonesence.

I do not know of any city that has an arena downtown that brings in revenue after a game, when everything is shut down.

New arena, maybe we need,but not at tax payers dollars. Besides we do not have the infrastructure to support the location. Do not kid yourself. Who wants to give up their cars and ride the LRT. ACCESSABLE< AFFORDABLE PARKING, PARKING, PARKING.

Better yet, Arena being a must???? Put it at the Municiple Airport. Actually a nice Park with recreation and indoor shopping center would be great at the Muni.
All that space, accessabile, infrastructure. Do not big cities (NEW YORK) have a nice park downtown. World famous and tourist attraction.

Let's put our tax dollars into helping the poor, the working poor, the homeless, the handicap, seniors.

There is more need for this than someone elses candy.

How can they say the tax payer wants a deal, the tax paer wants this or that.

I did not get a phone call, an e-mail; a letter....etc, asking my opinion or thought or want.

At one point I thought this should be brought forth to an election, but then as I say, this should not even be a question, not our problem.

If Katz cannot afford it, get out of it. Move / sell the oilers. Sell Rexall Place and put up some housing.

Enough is Enough.

Funeral procession proponents use the word "respect" over and over again. I was taught respect had to be earned and must be mutual. Long processions can clog up an entire quadrant of the city and then take half an hour or more to finally dissipate. Roads and their efficient operation are part of the backbone that our prosperity depends upon. What about showing respect to other motorists who have places to go and timelines to meet? Clogging up our roads needlessly will not bring the dead back to life, and claiming traffic jams are a necessary part of bereavement is the antithesis of respect. It is 2012 not 1912....abolish the right-of-way right away.
