Editor:
Why are we paying tax dollars for the Q to Q ferry service when these taxpayer dollars could be used to fund our own recycling depot?
How many people in New Westminster use the depot and how many people use the “popular demand ferry” - which is an extra fringe. The recycling depot is not a fringe and it will be an inconvenience to drive to Coquitlam – it’s a ludicrous waste of taxpayer dollars. Why don’t we get to vote where we want our taxpayer dollars, rather than wasting it on a ferry?
And as far as the ferry system goes, we have TransLink buses that have wheelchair access, strollers, etc. and many routes over the Fraser to help all ages.
People will not go the extra miles to go to Coquitlam, so they will put it in the garbage and all the recycling efforts we have been vigilantly embracing over the years will quickly be forgotten.
Let’s get moving in the right direction.
