Dear Editor:
Re: City pushes for four-lane Pattullo with tolls, The Record, March 7.
How is it that Mayor Wright and council have decided that a four-lane bridge is OK?
Really?
If the city did something other than to promote congestion, there would be much less traffic in New West, or so it would seem since people wouldn't be sitting stoplight after roundabout.
Give us a six-lane bridge. Improve flow throughout the city, improve access to Highway 1 and Marine Drive, creating a thoroughfare along Columbia, First and Stewardson.
Eliminating traffic congestion by diverting it around the outside of the city along the existing loud train tracks, instead of our beautiful, quaint neighbourhoods.
While we are at it, put in a four-lane Bailey bridge and call a truce with Coquitlam.
Now, let us show some respect to our neighbours, so that our neighbours will respect us.
Come on, Mr. Mayor, remember, we used to be the most respected city, the capital city!
Oh, and remember us, Queensborough, yeah we belong to New Westminister too! Just throwin' that out there!
Feeling forgotten and congested,
Dave Kasper, Queensborough
