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 Vancouver 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.
