Bearing in mind the scale of change to be made in transport, I agree with the assessment of the OECD, an independent international expert, on the direction we are taking in this country and the need for what it called a systemic change towards a much more sustainable transport model. I believe its analysis is correct. The northern distributor road would have been a continuation of a sprawl-based, car-dependent transport model that ill serves our people.
