The Parkway: Yes
2003
Overview
The anti-Parkway group claim that The Parkway will only save one kilometre and 72 seconds in driving time. I understand it costs 46 cents per kilometre to drive a car. A reasonable estimate of cars using the extended Parkway would be 15,000 per day. That would mean the travelling public could save 15,000 km and 300 hours of driving time each day. This amounts to $6,900 in car costs and approximately 1,500 litres of fuel. Over 25 years the total savings would be 13,687,500 litres of fuel and $62,962,500 in car costs. Unnecessary traffic signals and entrances onto The Parkway were probably allowed in hopes of killing The Parkway project. Apartment buildings and schools were built with full knowledge of the roadway location. We cannot afford to give those abutting The Parkway a $10- million gift.
