I don't want to spend twice as much (the alarmist number normally being thrown around) any more than the next guy, but pulling money from other CURRENT critical problems is not the answer.
The Bowfort Road interchange has been needed for over a decade, and is a hard won civic project. The area has waited a long, long, long time for this.
And nobody gets to question the need for Glenmore upgrades until the drive the length of it every day for a month. Glenmore should have been beefed up 15+ years ago (tied up in the T'suu Tina ring road fiasco, I know) but has finally hit a point of critical mass.....something needs to be done.
If the city can find a responsible way to pay for the construction, I'll be 100% on board. Stealing from Paul to pay Peter is not appropriate.
