No plans to move to the municipality, though?

I hear a new chief officer at the West Shore detachment has been chosen. We should find out tomorrow who it is.

The smart choice would have been the second in command, and the since acting COI, since he has a good knowledge of the building expansion project and worked under the much liked former chief.

We shall see.

Why not read the article?   It covers that.

The links eventually go dead, and then key information contained within, is no longer accessible, so it’s nice to have the bases covered on a discussion forum.

Spoiler alert; he plans to move to the Westshore.

Langford is proposing changes to Veterans Memorial Parkway at Peatt, which could benefit those using VMP, but make it extremely difficult for anyone to access or leave local  neighbourhoods.  Why do they refuse to time the lights so traffic doesn't back up?

 

Feedback on the changes can be made here by Nov 18th.  https://www.letschat...OcGevEoMNx7HmHg

If the infrastructure can't handle the demand maybe stop inducing demand.

Oddly enough, today I had to use that intersection for the first time ever westbound from Strandlund, and did it twice!

The web of roads through that neighbourhood is something else. I can’t imagine the traffic nightmare if all vehicles are required to use Hoffman down at Boston Pizza. And you have the expanding RCMP HQ there, too.

Ah Langford. Tens pounds of sh*t in a five pound bag. And they keep stuffing it.

The CRD says that’s where the growth must go, and that’s where it’s going.

Sooke isn’t much different. No meaningful road improvements in generations, but the population has tripled in size since incorporation.

Just wait for the CRD’s new regional transportation service to start forcing road diets and further reducing the potential of road improvements to better move vehicles.
