Rossland proposed washington revitalization

Hi

just wondering what everyones thoughts are on the proposed plans for washington street and a new tax hike?

personally, i barely see anyone cycling down or up washington in summer, let alone in winter.

some of the proposed benefits in the powerpoint slides also seems difficult to comprehend, i.e. shortening distances between RSS and the shovel to 7m from 15m?
