Timing is everything in traffic project work

North Vancouver - Dear Editor: They say timing is everything.
North Vancouver - Dear Editor: They say timing is everything.I know that it is inevitable that we will have more bike lanes in the future, since roundabouts and speed bumps are no longer the flavour of the month at city hall, but one could wonder at the timing of the current project on Grand Boulevard between 19th and 21st.Traffic in this little bottleneck is already at a standstill many hours a day.Would it not have been more prudent to do this work in the summer months when Sutherland secondary is closed and the overall volume of traffic is much less?If the planners would venture out a little farther than the coffee shop at 14th and Lonsdale, I think they would have a little more insight into what is happening in the real world.Duncan DickinsonNorth Vancouver
