The problem also comes is when a route is chosen and publicly declared, then people can game play if they want to stop it - whereas if land was bought to build a road for commercial reasons, a preferable route would be found.Libertyscotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741049550997300680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5404820640426099135.post-30454507757205023042009-05-20T19:16:04.904+12:002009-05-20T19:16:04.904+12:00Ed: How many people do you know who have spent $50...Ed: How many people do you know who have spent $500,000 on stopping a motorway in that manner?<br /><br />If you have that amount of money to spend there are better ways to use it to stop the motorway.<br /><br />The government has flexibility of location as well.
