Economics show -- demand does not support new DRIC bridge

2011-01-19

Sierra Club Ontario released an Econometric Research Limited study that concludes that there is no need for a new Windsor-Detroit bridge. Econometric Research determined that projections for increased cross-border traffic are erroneous, defy common sense are in deep denial of the fact that cross-border traffic has been down since 1999, two years before 9/11.

I agree that the DRIC project for new border crossing is making lot of housing communities distressed and effecting the quality of life for the effected neighbourhoods, like spring garden area, and Lamont st, bethelehem st and other areas. Some one should try to help the effected homes owners and the neighbourhoods as well as the pollution caused by the construction project
