Dear Editor:
I live in the District of North Vancouver. Imagine my horror when driving up Keith Road from the under-construction-for-months Keith Road Bridge to my Calverhall residence to see an electronic bulletin board issuing a declaration to make alternate driving routes so as to avoid the four plus months of construction on east and west Grand Boulevard.
Grand Boulevard falls in the city, and the engineering department informed me the reason they are doing this construction now is because of the reduced traffic and the good weather.
When I asked them if they had considered the fact that there is a detour recommendation onto Grand Boulevard to avoid the Keith Bridge I was again reminded that there are only a few months a year in which to complete construction. Let’s complete one job before starting the next. How (about) we amalgamate the two municipalities so this kind of chaos doesn’t continue on the North Shore?
