Mayor Ivan Court says the city will not be able to function if population trends aren't turned around. He points to numbers which show 47 per cent of workers in the city live outside it.

According to the Mayor, at the very least municipal services should be regionalised but he's also suggesting the province bite the bullet with amalgamation.

Court is also answering the criticism that came his way over his opposition to expanding Highway One in the K-V to six lanes by saying those people who took him to task didn't understand what he was driving at.
 
He maintains the money would be better spent on the road leading from the highway to the university.
