Dear Editor,
It was interesting to note the expressions on our councillors鈥� faces at the last council meeting when the CAO was giving them a litany of new mistakes found in the 鈥淣ightmare on Robson Street鈥� that we will some day call our library.
It was a look of disbelief and a gaze toward the heavens asking 鈥淕ood Lord, will this never end?鈥�
When asked if he could even guess at a completion date, our CAO wisely refused to answer. We all know by now that any date suggested for completion of this project is about as firm as a puff of smoke.
It seems like the more time the builder is given to fix previous mistakes, the more time they get to think up and make new ones. One has to start wondering if this is just part of a diabolical plan; surely it can鈥檛 all be just an accident.
I just hope that if we ever have to start on another construction project in the future, the designers and builders are fully aware that it will be less painful to have red-hot slivers rammed up their fingernails than to ask for more time and money to complete the project.
And if the contractor has an opportunity to bid on another project in the future, I don鈥檛 think it would be wise to use Jasper as a reference.

Jasper, Alta.
