Dear Editor:
Re: City Spurns Amalgamation, June 18.
The two North Shore entities are geographically one place.
It is high time for the two to amalgamate.
I see the reluctance to do this, mostly on the city side, as a job preserving tactic.
We do not need twocouncils, two libraries, two fire departments, etc., for this population and geographical area. The policing concerns are really not a concern at all. .. stop sharing, make it one: just do it (amalgamate) and let the rest fall into place.
We need to develop and control densification in a co-ordinated manner for this geographical area with the accompanying infrastructure. Traffic gridlock is a serious concern and greatly affects the livability of this area.This needs to be addressed by one governing body.
All for one and.. . (you know the rest).
