"Cities are meant to stop traffic. That is their point. That is why they are there. That is why traders put outposts there, merchants put shops there, hoteliers erect inns there. Rationally one wants to have traffic *stop* there, not go *through*." —Kirkpatrick Sale, Human Scale

I have two cents to rub together; what friction! I live 350 meters from TransCanada Speedway,er Highway, which nightly hosts speed contests in the wee-est of wee hours; a soundtrack for my getaway nightmares. New RCMP digs overlook this dragway; will they continue to overlook the screechfest? LVX
