Hey Hey SJ.. wanna pay for my transportation?

July 30th, 2009

So, I’m sure you’re all aware that they’re doing construction on the Catherwood/Fairville Blvd intersection on the West Side of Saint John. Well.. I for one am not very pleased about the way they’ve chosen to go about it.

Before, it was 4.3km and about 5 minutes to make the drive from my house and the Superstore and back. Now, it’s 5.6km and more than 10 minutes. Not only that, but FORGET getting coffee at Tim’s up the road because they closed 1/2 of that street, and now it’s 1 way.. and getting out of that place going left on Main Street is suicidal.

So, what I want to know is if Saint John is going to remiburse people for the ridiculous amount of gas this street construction is costing people. I’m guessing it’s about double what it was before. I realize it’s only an extra 1.3km, but the idle time is insane now. I truly believe that they could have set this up in some sort of way that would have made it less of a pain in the ass for the commuter.

So, I think that the next thing to go before the city council is a vote to give us some money to pay for this stupidity.. because we all  have to go to the grocery or drug store at some point, and the run-around is costing us all.
