For the first time ever, Spruce Avenue has bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic!
I dont mean for five minutes while waiting at a light; I am talking hours and hours of idling, barely moving cars. Each in a rush to get nowhere (home), each not really interested in the safety of our neighborhood.
Theres an accident on the QEW, yet Spruce is backed up? That never happened before. Why now? New Street road diet.
Great planning!
Not only can I not use the arterial New Street today, I also cannot get around safely and can enjoy the streets where I live.
Not a bike in sight anywhere but hundreds and hundreds of cars passing by us on Spruce Avenue. Just a joke.
But wait.. when you report the results of the citys study, you bet I already anticipate that Burlington shows it as a resounding success.
