Dear Editor:
Can you imagine the people west of Burrard Street, south of Broadway and east of Main not being able to vote on what is proposed to be built or demolished or where bike lanes should be in the downtown core of the city of Vancouver?
I don't think you can and I believe it would never happen.
Then why is this happening in North Vancouver? If you live on the other side of the city limits you have no voice in what happens in the main business section of North Van. If you live on the city's border you have no say in what is built across the street from you.This is insane. It does not take two mayors and two councils to figure out what needs to be done in North Vancouver. We all should have a vote on what happens in all of North Vancouver.
If you agree, ask your mayor for a referendum on the District and City amalgamating. This really needs to happen.I was born here in North Vancouver 69 years ago. I have seen a lot of changes, but this rush to increase the population before you have traffic patterns in place to handle it seems to be out of control.
