> Hello Folks:
>
> Could you kindly pass this message on to as many folks as you can.  I
think
> this panel will be very interesting and hopefully constructive.  Please
note
> that EAC's TRAX people are on the panel - it is important that as many
> people as possible get out to this event as it is hoped to have input to
the
> HRM transportation strategy (or lack of it) by identifying what it could
be.
>
> Although it is organized by my neighbourhood association it is actually
> intended to reach the broader community.  Anyone who has followed the
> development of the GO PLAN as it morphed into the Interim Strategy on
> Transportation will be aware that the focus is still on capital
expenditure
> ($224 million on roads) as opposed to transportation demand management
> ($100,000)
