The wise letter from Adi Ringuette (Pique, Jan. 31, “Valley gondola not the solution”) states “the train should also be considered for future expansion, reducing traffic from Vancouver and Pemberton, as the train track goes furthur in both directions.”
They are right, we should long ago have made better use of “resources that are already in existence.” Now more than ever, when our economy needs to diversify, but in sustainable directions, this railway could take some of our needless vehicle traffic off the road. Adi invites the mayor and council, and Whistler Blackcomb, and other traffic forces to step up and explain to the BC Government that this is the best kind of regional economic development.
Congratulations to Adi for skilfully reminding us of what is hiding in plain sight, right before our eyes.
