Re: "Cycling upgrades in capital could cost $220 million," Aug. 12.
It makes more sense from an environmental, social and financial perspective to spend our money improving pedestrian and bicycle rights-of-way than on replacing our present environmentally sound sewage processing system.
If I, an ordinary citizen and retired nurse, can figure that out, why can't our elected politicians? And, if our politicians are told by other higher-level politicians that it is the law to have a secondary sewage processing system, why don't our local politicians work toward Victoria's exemption from this law?
Who benefits from the decision to build a new sewage-processing plant?
