LETTER: Duff forward looking

LRT is a viable alternative to a bus lane.

The bus lane will not solve any problems and I won't be hopping on a bus from the U of M to race down to Osborne Village where the real traffic starts to back up during rush hour. I would use a dedicated rail system that had park-and-ride stops similar to Calgary's LRT.

It's time to think of the future and pit a bit of forward thinking into our city planning. Duff Roblin faced vicious opposition in regards to the Floodway back in the '50s. Thanks Duff for foreseeing future problems.

That is what a true leader will do.
