Gotta love Vision. Here's a group that spends taxpayer money to study tearing down perfectly good infrastructure (ie. the viaducts) yet they can't find $270,000 to keep lifeguards on beaches that have been patrolled for decades?
For anyone who doesn't watch what lifeguards do in the beach locations, their primary value is in
preventing accidents, not just saving people when they're drowning. A lot of the people who visit even the less-popular beaches like Second and Jericho are not swimmers, or are complete idiots who let their children walk into the water despite not knowing how to swim.
If they had just suggested Trout Lake that probably would've been fine, but as usual, the vision-run park board do something idiotic and will have to reverse course.
