      <![CDATA[Sean Kirby has been crying about this for months now - in whatever venue will have him. I agree that the process by which the location of the connector road was chosen seems to be suspect (documents being held back), but if you look at  a map with elevation information that location makes sense.<br>
<br>
This is not about the city subsidizing the suburbs.

      <![CDATA[The issue is not about Kirby, it is about Bill Estabrooks who wants this road built regardless of public opinion and common sense. The focus should be what motivations are driving this one MLA to spend money on a project no one else seems to want.<br>
<br>
First the 'people's representative' claims if people don't want it, it won't happen.

      <![CDATA[Residents gave the provincial government every opportunity to exercise common sense on the connector road issue but instead the government  decided to harm homes and properties unnecessarily, ignored community input, broke its own freedom of information law, undercut HRM's regional development strategy, and ultimately announced that it is going to build the connector on the route it picked years ago despite the community's opposition to it. Given the government's inappropriate behaviour, we were left with no choice but to highlight what the government was doing in the hope that it would be shamed into serving citizens instead of working against them.<br>
<br>
This case is no longer just about this particular connector road - it is about defending basic democratic principles:  The government shouldn't harm homes and properties when it has other options.

      <![CDATA[The connector road is not needed in my opinion, its only to provide access to land for a private developer, it is not in the best interest of the community. The fire department is unmanned, if you have a house fire, you probably would have to go get the fire truck yourself.

      <![CDATA[If you throw infrastructure projects around like a game of chance and than write the development plan after-the-fact than why bother with a plan at all? I wonder how much the people who develop the plan are getting paid.

      <![CDATA[Kirby, the Liberal lobbyist, lost the battle when he went into government offices throwing his weight around and threatening staff. He forgot that Liberals have no power and their decades of entitlement and coercion are over.<br>
Bill Estabrooks doesn't take kindly to that nonsense and Kirby poisoned the well from an early date.<br>
