ALT Instead of the road work, pay for public transit So, as a letter said, “we’ve known about traffic evaporation for 30 years.” May I then ask: Why did we build the round-about folly that serves the airport; why did we build the McKenzie interchange; why did we widen Sooke Road? We’ve spent hundreds of millions on these projects, money that would have financed an efficient, effective public transit system which could serve all in the community. David Cohen Victoria
