The twinning projects are needed for both safety and capacity reasons. It's good to see the province is recognizing that 1950's era traffic capacity is no longer adequate for the growth that these areas have seen and will continue to see.

The 113 is most certainly needed but I don't find it paradoxical that HRM is against it. They do everything they can these days to create more traffic tie-ups instead of doing anything to fix them. I guess they expect people to cycle to DT from Upper Tantallon.
The twinning projects are mostly necessary. I would think a twinned 103 from Halifax to Bridgewater would make sense. Beyond Bridgewater probably not so much. Same with the 101 as far as Kentville, which is almost there now.
