Re: (Letters, Dec. 7)
I am writing in response to the recent letter to the editor penned by Mike Strong.
The intention behind the new highway wasnB次元官网网址檛 to exacerbate traffic but to enhance safety for those who commute daily through dangerous intersections. This notion was reinforced when I spoke with individuals recently moving to Sooke from the Greater Toronto Area. Their 45- to 60-minute commute in Victoria is comparatively more straightforward than the daily commute they encountered in Ontario.
Mr. Strong lives in a dream world if he believes people will willingly sacrifice their personal transportation for the environmentB次元官网网址檚 sake.
The District of Sooke, the school board, and the Capital Regional District all play a part in this traffic failure. They need more ideas without money B次元官网网址� the province and feds have the cash.
This traffic congestion has shifted from the Colwood Crawl to the Sooke Crawl.
