Just like Mayor Fortin said the old Johnson Street Bridge would need to be closed to traffic if the project wasn't completed by ...what was it again? 2014? The rail span was removed ultra-fast, if we recall.

Just like every politician about everything. Buckle under to their coercion ASAP or they'll take the things you paid for away from you.

The City of Victoria’s budget draft for next year doesn’t include the Crystal Pool replacement, meaning the project’s future will be determined by the next mayor and council.
Victoria staff will give council an overarching presentation on the draft financial plan on Monday (Oct. 25), but the budget has the pool project pegged as a 2023 action.
Susan Simmons, an advocate for the pool, was saddened, but not surprised, by the news of the replacement being delayed.
“Based on the current council I’m not shocked,” she said. “They always make it an election issue and then it never goes forward.”
