Dear Editor:
We are getting vibes from the District of North Vancouver council that amalgamation is on the agenda. It must be election time. Form another committee, another red herring. Let us look backin time to decisions made by this council, that have affected communities from Edgemont and Lynn Valley to Seymour, involving mega projects in these areas. Communities have banded together to oppose them, gathered thousands of signatures, attended town hall meetings, to no avail. Council approved them. With aging infrastructure now in place, North Vancouver is already showing signs of gridlock. Wait until the new projects come online, you haven't seen anything yet. Already the quality of life in the district has taken a hit, so remember while you are waiting in line to access the Second Narrows or other areas, your waiting time will soon get longer.
You do have a choice in the November elections - either elect the same council, or people who will stand up for their communities. The choice is yours. See you at the ballot box.
Stanley Jackson
North Vancouver
