Somebody help me out here, but isn't investing in transportation infrastructure a little out of their jurisdiction?

Within City Limits = municipal.
Outside City limits = provincial.
Transportation standards = federal

gdoh 03-23-2011 11:47 AM

they should be investing more than that back to the community every year

Yea City is probably running the traffic calming project but ICBC might be contributing $$ for it.

What they need to do is repave kingsway.

It's a roller coaster everytime I go over Rupert or turning on to it.

subwoffers 03-23-2011 12:21 PM

Yay! 9 million.

That would pay for a road no bigger than Number 3 road.

They should pave that bit of road leading to Spanish Banks so we can have better Spring Meets.

YES LOL. its right when you're turning left too super bumpy there. Then again, you can always turn left towards Dairy Queen and Cheveron and go from there haha =X

eurochevy 03-23-2011 01:02 PM

yep turning left anywhere on rupert and kingsway honestly..you don't even have traction to stop or turn properly at any speed what so ever, car jumps up and down when you touch the brakes your tires are barely contacting the road lol

Skyline350gt 03-23-2011 01:33 PM

LOLLLL all of it is so true about Rupert St..

They need to get on that shit asap.

Why couldn't they have done it right the first time, this intersection is brand new!

Jayhall 03-23-2011 03:38 PM

They are still sneaky fucks. Seems like a smart investment on their part though, invest some money to help make roads safer so there are less accidents to pay for. Even if it does cost more than they expect 18 million is just a fraction of their 24.5 billion(2009 profit). Seriously how many companys are making money off of pretty much everyone in an enitre province? They better not invest too much though, they wont ever put themselves out of work but they could really cut into their profit.

JesseBlue 03-23-2011 03:45 PM

pure publicity stunt so you wouldnt be asking why the executives got 100+mil in bonuses this year
