She's been mayor for 6 years. I'm talking about the poor design of new roads. I agree transit is a regional issue involving Translink and the BC government but the city has not done enough to foster increased ridership; development around existing transit infrastructure has improved under Watts but is still disappointing. If the troubled neighborhood you're referring to is Whalley it still has a very long way to go and much of the trouble has simply spread to other areas. Newton and Guildford are not nice places to live.
