Dear Editor:

What genius in the District of North Vancouver has decided to start construction work simultaneously at three locations surrounding Edgemont Village?
Really?

Are you aware that you’re pushing our patience to a limit? Whether driving to work, school, or shopping for the family we’re held hostage by construction everywhere. Now, to top it off, you’re beginning work to replace the bridge on Montroyal Boulevard near Highland Avenue. Really? Enough is enough, already.

Each of these projects is a long-term one with no guaranteed end date in sight.

I’m proposing the district give each resident in this area a huge tax break for all this inconvenience, which of course they won’t.

But I do find it absolutely stupid and unprofessional to expect all of us to patiently and happily go about our business with this asinine scheduled construction work.

Please don’t compound matters by citing some lame excuse – there cannot be one.
