I commute to north Burnaby every day for work. I realize it is my choice to work at a place that is so far from home but my employer is fabulous and I love my work, so I make the trip.
What drives me crazy? The nightmare facing me every morning when I turn onto Highway 17A. On four out of five days, the traffic is backed up almost to Highway 10.
Impatient drivers headed for southbound Highway 99 creep along the shoulder on the right so they don't have to wait in line. Drivers headed north take the overpass, drive to the Shell station and make a U-turn.
My drive takes me 50 minutes, and half of that time is just to get through the George Massey Tunnel. It's ridiculous.
The person responsible for the design of the access from Ladner should be sent to a fiery spot (which we won't name) and made to drive that route for eternity.
