New road projects must cater to long term needs

Dear Editor,

The recent discussion on the new roads to reduce congestion is a healthy one. Many have observed a number of concerns in the standards being implemented. It is CRG’s opinion that the roads should accommodate a multi-purpose and multi usage perspective while incorporating new technology and the engineering know-how to reduce wear and tear.

For example:

1. A bike path

2. Incorporation of glass mesh into the design

3. Curb and sidewalk

The enthusiasm and expediency of the project is admirable, but we must also cater to the additional needs of the larger project over the long term.

Best regards,
