North Vancouver roads and bridges can't handle OCP population target

Dear Editor : After reading your Dec, 15 story, NV City to Grow 42% by 2041, I felt compelled to write you.What troubles me is that there is no mention of the roads.

You talk about "high density" buildings, but what about the streets? Marine Drive, Third Street and Keith are already choking most of the time.

What about bridges to go over town? There should definitely be discussion on that. Just two bridges is not enough! And where to put the third or maybe fourth bridge?

I have lived on the North Shore most of my life, right now in Lower Lonsdale and have noticed the population"explode" in the past threeyears. I know for a fact that I am not the only one who has noticed this, and a lot of people besides me are worried about this.

Is this just the City of North Vancouver or is the district included as well? Just wondering.
