Overlook ring street
London missed the chance for a sensible ring street a long time in the past. Cease this council’s perennial chatter about this as they attempt to seem progressive.
As an alternative, bus the roads division and council round London to witness the 1960 form of many roadways.
If we merely introduced many roads as much as customary and added bus bays the place attainable, we might create new routes that now many keep away from due to poor situations, lane variations and visitors management .

As an alternative, London and authorities funnel $100 million right into a horribly sluggish effort to construct BRT, whereas it wrecks the motion of automobiles for years as London. It perpetuates a part-time effort to get these jobs shifting to completion.
We’d like a civic election and a home cleansing of metropolis departments, maybe with early retirement incentives.

Understanding the true value of Londoners’ most popular mode of journey is required to totally perceive the influence on our way of life.

Homeless need assistance
Only a fast touch upon Allan Janssen’s letter, Transfer homeless (April 4).
I don’t assume Allan realizes that homeless individuals are everywhere in the metropolis. He will need to have pushed down Hamilton Highway and witnessed the abundance of homeless individuals from Wellington and Horton to Hamilton and Highbury and thought, why not dump the difficulty there and clear my yard?
No matter their issues and misfortunes, homeless individuals will migrate to any semblance of what may be described as house, be it an alleyway, bush, and many others.
All of them need assistance and I don’t imagine shifting them to Hamilton Highway, “out of sight and out of thoughts” is a compassionate method. By the way in which, I stay within the Hamilton Highway space.

How come one thing quashed by a metropolis committee get to be resurrected by council? I’m asking concerning the funds council simply permitted for Ark Support to proceed homeless providers within the Previous East Village regardless of opposition from native shops, neighbours, 5 councillors and town committee that turned it down final month.
Warren Buffett as soon as stated, “Very profitable individuals say no to nearly every little thing.” I assume that doesn’t apply right here.
