LETTER: Why higher cost for roundabout?

This is the drawing the public got a chance to see earlier this month of the new roundabout that will be going in at a major intersection in Oyster Bed Bridge. Routes 6 and 7 run north and south in this overhead image with the Crooked Creek Road to the west and Portage Road to the east.

I have a simple question for the minister of transportation, infrastructure and energy: Instead of spending a whopping $1 million of taxpayers’ money on the roundabout in Oyster Bed Bridge, why not spend $200,000 like you did for the roundabout in Stanley Bridge? Your government said one was needed there due to high tourist flow in summer and it seems to be working.

Am I missing something here?
