The city knows around that area there are going to be over 14 new high raise in total in the next 10 years yet the changes they made can barely handle the traffic now. We need engineers who can plan far far into the future.

That goes with Metrotown and Lougheed area and oakridge.......and even along cambie.

no worries, no one's gonna live in those apartments, they're just "investments" :troll:

Another problem with "shortcuts" is, the stupid city keeps adding these bullshxt traffic calming devices to the side streets, be it speed bumps or a$$-tight traffic circles. They always piss me off because instead of doing any real meaningful roadwork to improve traffic flow, the city is fxxking wasting money on measures that further reduces traffic flow. Seriously, wtf is the city thinking?

Don't tell me it's all about children safety. You look before you cross the road, and you teach them to look before you take them crossing the road.
