It depends, if a road or bridge is in desperate need of repair, then yes, but if the infrastructure is really important, then focus on it.

 @B23CRQ3from Nova Scotia  answered…2wks2W

I believe we should prioritize both equally, starting with exisiting roads and then move onto new infrastructure

Privatize the repair of roads and bridges and building of new roads and bridges, but first the private companies should repair over build new

 @9ZJDSY7New Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…1mo1MO

I believe both are equally important. We need new infrastructure, and we have to keep the old infrastructure in good enough shape for people to access what they need.

 @9V36WR9from Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

if the road is really bad yes but if we need those buildings prioritize those

 @9TYS4TJfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

 @9TPPX3Qfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

No, prioritize building of publicly owned and publicly delivered mass transit.

 @9TD45D9from Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

 @9TB785RPeople’sfrom Alberta  answered…4mos4MO

Yes and no. If the road is in desperate need of repairs then they should prioritize fixing the so no cars are damage. If the roads are in need of small repairs the they can work on them but mainly focus on building new infrastructures..

 @9T7YL8Gfrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

The government should overhaul the existing infrastructure making it long-lasting and eco-friendly

 @9T4MVBSIndependentfrom British Columbia  answered…4mos4MO

I think there exists a happy medium between the two. Canada should strive to make "walkable" cities that are as pedestrian friendly as possible, and to do so would require both repair and new infrastructure.

 @9RZYZVVfrom Quebec  answered…5mos5MO

Government should invest in public transit infrastructure instead of roads.

 @9RZPX67from Alberta  answered…5mos5MO

given calgary's current water problems, yes. our tax dollars should go towards maintenance rather than new projects that siphon funding

 @9RVP28Rfrom British Columbia  answered…5mos5MO

 @9RTLWCPIndependentfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but also find room in the budget to reinvent old infrastructure into new infrastructure, also this is a municipal issue

 @9RCRJ4Ffrom Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

50-50. We need a balanced approach, since the demands on both sides here are so prominent.

 @9RC2QHKNew Democraticfrom Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, unless said infrastructure is redendant and only causes further traffic issues by being inaccessible to pedestrians and public transit.

 @9RBY87Rfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

No, so long as the new infrastructure is built to a higher, longer lasting quality

 @9RBQ4XWfrom Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

Maintenance should be prioritized unless new infrastructure could be more effective I.e. building a new (high speed) rail line instead of a new replacing highway or airport

 @9RBPBZ9from New Brunswick  answered…5mos5MO

 @9R72MJHfrom British Columbia  answered…5mos5MO

New infrastrasructure should always be the bigger priority in the economy we are in to encourage growth; however, constant maintenance of existing roads and such is still important and should be the bigger concern for the provincial government

 @9QZCYDNfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

Slighty because that's what matters right now. But not too much that building new infrastructure isnt a focus

 @9QCDGF2from Alberta  answered…6mos6MO

 @9P8NRFMNew Democratic from Alberta  answered…6mos6MO

Many existing roads/railways are not always kept in the same condition as those in higher density/income cities. The construction of new roads/railways shouldn't be discouraged (if there was no existing road/railway in the given area to begin with) but the upkeep of existing roads/railways should be recognised and encouraged before the construction of a new road/railway.

 @9N5BVB7from Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

If the highway is functional and can transport large sums of people from region to region with minor roughups in the region, then it is not required. However, new infrastructure to new locations should be made in order to make commuting more functional.

 @9WYDMSDfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but we do need new infrastructure especially in rural areas to keep critical infrastructure safe from forest fires.

 @9VJTNW9from British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

This is where so see way too much wasted money by things like re paving roads that are perfectly fine and multiple workers standing around. Its infuriating!!!

 @9VHCQCKfrom Nova Scotia  answered…3mos3MO

 @9MZ47BD from Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

repair and maintenance should have a higher priority but it important to build new infrastructure where there is none

 @9MW9BY2 from Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

They should do both work on the existing one and try to build new where required (only) to improve the transportation experience

 @9ZK3JNSfrom British Columbia  answered…1mo1MO

Both must be a priority but it is more important to keep all infrastructure in tact than to just build it new leaving the existing infrastructure in disrepair.
