Re: "Subway needed along Broadway to UBC," Nov. 28.
It seems odd that the blind Vision group at city hall, which promotes the idea of converting Broadway to a congested mess with cycling lanes, now is listening to the city's unelected transportation czar when he recommends a prohibitively expensive tunnel at an estimated cost of $3 billion to avoid interference with vehicular movement. With LRT as a viable option, the City of Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»and Surrey could fund and build enough lines to service the combined 1.2 million taxpayers and make the other Metro areas compatible with these additions for a fraction of this lunatic cost estimate.
It seems when the Vision party and Mayor Gregor Roberts discuss transportation, costs to taxpayers is not a consideration, only their unrealistic fascination with our supposedly green future.
