I don't specifically agree with the bayers road widening, but I think the washmill like underpass was an important part of connecting BL to CP. Regardless of your opinion on suburbia/business parks (I don't like either) the fact is we have them, so they might as well be better connected to the rest of the city.
Furthermore, its the fault of HRM for not putting maximum cost clauses in their contracts. Its that simple, these overruns are a legal issue... not a development issue.
Additionally, I wish Watts would stop talking about macroeconomic issues as if she is somehow versed in them.
The shift toward hybrid-electric, electric, and hydrogen cars is happening right now. To argue that nobody is going to be driving cars in the future is like saying nobody will be driving bicycles because there will be no food in the future. Its a bogus statement and isn't even true from a trending perspective.
