This is a copy of a letter I just sent to the local papers.  Hope it is =
appropriate for this list. 

Bruce Hollett


There has been much discussion lately on traffic congestion, both =
locally and on provincial highways. 

Most comments favour solutions which will allow more cars and trucks on =
our roads which leads to more congestion.  In other words, no gain in =
the long run. 

However, it is gratifying to hear from those who support improved public =
transit and investment in railway infrastructure.  Direct capital =
investment in this direction goes a long way towards solving traffic =
problems in an environmentally and fiscally responsible manner. 

Our elected representatives should be looking at expanding pulic transit =
on a provincial scale and finacially assisting railways to upgrade their =
rights of way. 

Yours truly;
