So we're basically saying the CRD transit issue is unsolvable?
That we've got ourselves in a predicament due to unbridled growth in the Westshore, and abysmally poor planning as to how those people are going to be moved in and out of Victoria and Sannich on a daily basis?
Sounds about right for the CRD. Watch a disaster happen over a period of decades, ignore it completely while your'e watching it develop, and then simply state that it's "un-fixable".
In a nutshell ... it's too big of a transportation problem, in too small of a region, and will cost exponentially more money that is even remotely available to even consider trying to fix it.
And the McKenzie Interchange takes at most 10 minutes (by the MOT's own statement) of a 30 to 60 minute traffic jam, and simply moves the standstill to a different intersection ... leaving folks plenty of time to sit in their cars thinking "hey, wait a minute ... that didn't fix anything!"
