Bayers Road Widening

[halifaxboyns]

In light of the series which CBC did on infrastructure and the cost to replace the Gardiner in Toronto - I too am glad that we never got Harbour Drive.

That being said the transportation system does need to be rethought in dealing with how you get people to and from downtown and I am one who believes road capacity isn't going to do it.

I think others have also pointed out that the overall system doesn't seem to be thought about either. So you widen Bayer's Road - but what about the other bottlenecks down the line...its these things that also seem to get missed so all you end up doing is moving the log jam somewhere else. Personally, I'd like to see some transit investment first. Get something like regional rail or HS ferries, LRT or some combination there of going before you start widening the road.
