Fund HandyDART, not gondola plan

Dear Editor:

Getting around just got harder, Burnaby NOW, Nov. 27.

As the son of a person who used a power wheelchair, I appreciate the importance of convenient, speedy and affordable HandyDart transport.

I find it disingenuous when TransLink officials say they are doing the best they can with the available resources while a $120-million gondola up Burnaby Mountain remains a priority on their capital "investment" list.

The long-term depreciation burden of such "white elephant" projects steals resources from the operation of a good HandyDart system.
