Dear Editor:
On Feb. 4 it took me over an hour to get from Lonsdale Avenue to the 15th Street exit in West Vancouver at 4 p.m. A family member was gridlocked on the highway trying to get to Deep Cove for two and a half hours. We were fortunate, as a neighbour was unable to cross the Second Narrows bridge for three and a half hours – so much for living on the North Shore.
I hear (another) massive highrise apartment is to be built in the (Seylynn Village) area of North Vancouver. How do they get to work? They drive of course. Who are all these jokers who are giving out building permits? Tell them we have a population explosion.
We are full. Our two bridges should have notices on their entrances “no more room, we are full.” Full up, and fed up.
Where do we go when the promised earthquake strikes and we have to evacuate, maybe take ferries to Squamish or swim for it as the highway is in rubble?
