Alberta Liberals would help Edmonton get the 23rd Avenue interchange built
South Edmonton traffic flow a chronic problem ignored by PCs, Edmonton-Rutherford’s Rick Miller says
Edmonton – Traffic flow in Edmonton’s south side has been paralyzed for years, and the Alberta Liberals are the only party with a plan to do anything about it.
The Alberta Liberals will invest $1.05 billion more than the PCs in Alberta’s crumbling infrastructure if elected. Of that, the party is committed to investing up to $130 million to help the City of Edmonton get the 23rd Avenue interchange built, thus freeing up the City to invest into other essential municipal projects like LRT expansion and Quesnell Bridge improvements.
“Ed Stelmach had an opportunity to get the job done right and get Edmonton’s traffic moving when he was Ralph Klein’s infrastructure minister,” said Alberta Liberal Edmonton-Rutherford candidate Rick Miller, the party’s shadow finance minister in the last Legislature running for re-election.
“Instead, Klein did nothing, Stelmach did nothing, Dave Hancock did nothing. The PCs did nothing. They knew what needed to be done, and they did nothing,” Miller said. “The south end of the city has been struggling with traffic snarls for the better part of a decade as a result. It’s time to get the job done right.”
Local residents and city councilors have been asking for the province to step in on this essential infrastructure project, one that is critical to the economic well-being of Edmonton and the whole province.
“Edmontonians are well aware that the Stelmach PCs have let them down not only on this project, but on properly supporting our health care system and the professionals who make it work, post-secondary education and training, auto insurance and protecting the environment,” Miller said. “The Alberta Liberals are ready to take the leadership this province needs to go from a government on auto-pilot to a government with energy, priorities and vision.”
“If Ed Stelmach wants this election to be a referendum on his government’s record, south Edmonton residents will certainly judge him on his inaction on the 23rd Avenue interchange.”
