If planning in the past could not plan for the present, how can we expect planning for the future to be evident for the present? Biggest problem is that here, in the islands, we have the same sce nario on a miniature scale. Sure! We have planning! Look at the traffic flow on Salt Spring Island, first island to enjoy community planning. See Salt Spring! See Ganges! See dog-leg highway! The routing of traffic is less than ideal, but the route was selected before planners were invented and the planning procedure had to make what it could of what it had. Yet, could some forethought in planning not have warned of the con glomeration of housing for the elderly in the vicinity of the village? There are two such housing developments to the north of the harbour. Another four townhouse properties also lie in that same direction and many such homes are particularly attractive to the elderly, who, like myself, either cannot or will not spend their time cultivating grass and flowers to be laboriously maintained. irk No consideration appears to have been directed at the provision of crosswalks at the junction of Upper and Lower Ganges Roads. I admit T~ T" that there is a fun-element in that constant game of last-across, but do we really need blood sports in the islands?
