A roundabout at Highway 19A and Village Way is a waste of money.
I turn off of 19A to Village Way almost daily and I have yet to see any traffic problems there. The money should be spent on some proper curbs and sidewalks in Qualicum, especially along Village Way and other streets where bus stops are located.
I see young children walking on the shoulders of the road on their way to school. It is dangerous, particularly in the winter time in dark wet weather. Village Way should be a welcoming gateway to Qualicum, much like Memorial Avenue is from the top of Rupert Road with sidewalks boulevards and proper bus shelters.
Kudos to Parksville for all the sidewalks they have put in their city over the past five years. It would be nice if Qualicum took a page out of your book on this issue.
