Yes and no. If it is easy to repair, yes repair it. If the road has been repair so many times and is falling apart, it should be renewed
@B324X4F2mos2MO
It depends on the cost efficiency of building new infrastructure.
@B2W86PR2mos2MO
The needs of individual communities need to be considered.
@B2PLZ3Y3mos3MO
road infrastructure, yes. Transit infrastructure, no.
@B2C5GJC 3mos3MO
Yes, until the frequency and cost to upkeep reaches a certain threshold.
@B2C237H 3mos3MO
This should not be a priority, but should be fixed appropriately as the government is responsible
@9ZQW6DM5mos5MO
Current infrastructure and new infrastructure should be both prioritized
@9ZMYFJW5mos5MO
Depending on the area and need to follow the growing population
@9TYS4TJ7mos7MO
Existing and new infrastructure are equally important
@9TD45D97mos7MO
both are as important one cannot be prioritized over the other
@9T7YL8G7mos7MO
The government should overhaul the existing infrastructure making it long-lasting and eco-friendly
@9RTLWCPIndependent9mos9MO
Yes, but also find room in the budget to reinvent old infrastructure into new infrastructure, also this is a municipal issue
@9RBY87R9mos9MO
No, so long as the new infrastructure is built to a higher, longer lasting quality
@9QZCYDN9mos9MO
Slighty because that's what matters right now. But not too much that building new infrastructure isnt a focus
@9N5BVB711mos11MO
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.
@B3HNKCJ 2mos2MO
Neither Yes or No both should be prioritized equally
@B3BJSPV2mos2MO
prioritize it over it, but continue to pump new infrastructure etc.
Yes, for vehicles, but build new infrastructure for public transportation.
@9MZ47BD 11mos11MO
repair and maintenance should have a higher priority but it important to build new infrastructure where there is none
@9MW9BY2 11mos11MO
They should do both work on the existing one and try to build new where required (only) to improve the transportation experience
