The Knight st. corridor is supposedly the most dangerous traffic route in the GVRD, and the rocket scientists in city hall and the police dept. think the answer is cardboard cutouts. They did a similar thing out in the boonies in BC some years ago, leaving older marked police cruisers at various locations by the roadside. You could often tell when that was what was ahead of you by the spray painted graffiti on the car, or the smashed windows. Is there nobody left at any level of public service that has any functioning brain? Here's a bold prediction: No discernible result will occur, and the cutouts will be declared a success in a year or so.

If the problem is as bad as they say it is, the revenue from the tickets should more than cover the cost of the wages and equipment used, with the added benefit of making the street safer for the citizens. They're graffiti proof? ? ? ? This is a selling point? ? ? ?
