The City of Victoria’s approved plan for Richardson will eliminate all continuous east-west vehicle travel from Cook Street to Foul Bay Road. After camps in parks and Clover Point, it might become the next contentious issue in Victoria. It threatens to disrupt the entire residential area bounded by Cook Street, Fairfield Road, Foul Bay Road, Oak Bay Avenue, and Rockland Avenue. It is a perfect example of a “solution” in search of a problem. Richardson is designated as a Local Collector street in the City’s own bylaws and is a direct and valuable east-west access road for all residents.
