Rest assured Evelyn the chickens will be home to roost in no time and as usual no one will say Ev told us so , The big thinkers just don’t get it I’m afraid and this latest attempt at trying to put out the transit dilemma fire with this $33,750 per car monstrosity is nothing more than a fools attempt to extinguish the inferno , It’s easy to sit back and criticize everything government does ,and yes this blub will be waved off , but I’ll leave you with some questions that hopefully your “condescending correspondent” can answer

Is it better to invest in 150 year old conventional rail travel ? Or is it more sensible to invest in new technology, Canadian made high speed elevated rapid transit? Japan , Germany , Italy ,come to mind

Is it better to continue to clutter the roads with those smog producing blue, green ,white and red buses, ? Or invest in Canadian made high speed rapid transit corridors that already exist

Is it better to expropriate people’s homes and businesses, in a futile attempt to widen a road to accommodate Big Blue and a few riders over 5 or 6 kilometers ? Or admit the planning mistakes of the past and live with the traffic gridlock ,it will return with vengeance with or without the expropriations?

Answer Yes or No to this , will the problem of parking in the residential area around the Go Station cease the day, or for that matter a year after the 800 space ,$34,000 per car bunker opens ???

And finally

Is it better to spend upwards of $34,000 to park a single car beside a two lane road ,already overloaded in its capacity? Or would it not have made just a trifle more sense to locate a commuter lot on flat ground just outside the urban area ,say King or Whitchurch for a fraction of the price without impacting anyone living or driving through this fair hamlet or theirs for that matter? Obviously people enjoy driving to the station so what’s another 2 or 3 K matter
