General Road and Highway Discussion

[danbrotherston]

Every time I drive that stretch of Victoria I wonder the same thing. It's pointless, ugly, and makes crossings even bigger. I've provided feedback as such (while complaining about the tax waste of extra lanes, I hear they love that).

Heh, yes, I also included that question...our tax dollars are being wasted, if our safety and health isn't enough. But I think the problem is different from that...it's a bureaucratic problem. Nobody on council particularly disagrees with the point (or at least, only a minority do), so why is it not being done? Well, these decisions aren't really made by council, they're made by staff. So I also pushed council to also consider why this road is not being managed in line with the moving forward 2020 plan, which, mediocre though it may be, does call for road diets in select places.
