Editor:
On the topic of the New Haven-Bonshaw Highway, there has been a lot of discussion about Plan B. I do not think enough thought has gone into improving the existing road. A good portion of the present route has two lanes in each direction. If the whole distance had these two lanes in each direction, I think safety would be greatly improved and would have to cost a lot less than Plan B.
In the interest of public disclosure, I would ask the minister of transportation and infrastructure renewal to reply in The Guardian on this. Let's call it Plan C.
I will suggest a couple of points to the minister.
1. Use what you already have, but improve on it;
2. To borrow a few words from Stompin' Tom, in these times of economic downturn, we should not be "spending money we don't got."
