Stop the Spending

The letter was headed -- Stop the Roundabout.

It's telling the District of Coldstream to stop the spending.

A letter to the editor of the Morning Star, published June 9, 2013, was to the point:

"Coldstream council, are you listening?  Just in case you are for once, stop wasting my money.

Leave the Kidston Road/Kalamalka Road intersection the way it is.

Why is Coldstream always willing to bend over for just a select few?  Speed bumps on West Kal and Postill for example.  What about some speed bumps for Kalamalka Road or how about Highway 6?  Lots of people are speeding on those roads.

Just joking.  Please don't apply for another grant.

Is it really necessary to interrupt traffic 24 hours a day for everyone just to avoid a five-minute wait during school and sports traffic?

There isn't anywhere left to develop in the Kidston area so future traffic flow will not be increasing.

People are free to take Kalavista Drive or Postill Drive (even with speed bumps I believe they are still open to the less fortunate).

There is no problem with the Kidston/Kal intersection.  Stop creating one.  Stop wasting my money."

"Terry Nerling took the words right out of residents' mouths," offers Kia, "we've been 'bending over' for the municipality for years with this bunch."

Thanks for making your point, Terry.
Or should we say, our point.
