They should continue to build new infrastructure while increasing functionality of previously existing infrastructure.
@B2HKYQ83mos3MO
No, both should be prioritized as needed within an area
@9ZJDSY7New Democratic5mos5MO
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.
@9V36WR97mos7MO
if the road is really bad yes but if we need those buildings prioritize those
@9TPPX3Q7mos7MO
No, prioritize building of publicly owned and publicly delivered mass transit.
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..
@9RZPX678mos8MO
given calgary's current water problems, yes. our tax dollars should go towards maintenance rather than new projects that siphon funding
@9QCDGF210mos10MO
Government should focus on both, not one over the other.
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 10mos10MO
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.
@B3CTNFR2mos2MO
They should be prioritized based on the needs and demands of the areas in question
