Dear editor:

Your Nov. 20 editorial (‘Round and ’round we go) on the proposed St. Davids roundabout was spot on and I heartily endorse it.

I’d like to add a comment. Any organization, from a large corporation to a medium-size government (i.e. Niagara Region) to a small household, has limited resources. Any well-run organization, when developing its capital spending budget, will first identify its needs and then prioritize them so as to most effectively use those limited resources.

I ask the Niagara Region why it feels spending $4 to $10 million on a roundabout in St. Davids is more important (i.e. needed more) than using that money to repair its water infrastructure which, according to its its own staff reporting, is in very poor condition?
