Now is not the time for a massive LRT undertaking

Not everyone in Greater Victoria is itching for LRT

Re: Show us that LRT money (Our View, Sept. 16)

I agree B.C. Transit should curb its enthusiasm on spending and LRT. That doesnB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t mean it canB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t happen someday.

Millions for planning and basically no money spent encouraging ride-sharing or putting in infrastructure for it such as street-side pickup points. Transit wouldnB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t want that, though. After all, itB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s a competitor to them and their services I guess. Go figure.

Seems thereB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s work to do on all sides, but processes, as there are now, seem to lack common sense.
