Editor: Last Wednesday was yet another traffic fiasco in the George Massey Tunnel with three accidents occurring during the morning rush.
Imagine how worse off it might have been if it hadn't been spring break for all the schools. Or imagine what might happen to this incredibly important crossing when a big shaker occurs.
Infrastructure and transportation are two critical criteria for our commutes for work, travel, medical appointments, recreation and more. All who travel northbound on Highway 99 have very specific reasons to go through that scary tunnel.
I have compiled a list of those who must be contacted every time this happens to express frustration with this inadequate structure:
Premier Christy Clark: [email protected]
Minister of Transportation Todd Stone: [email protected]
Mayor Lois Jackson: [email protected]
MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay: [email protected] I challenge you to keep this list in your car's glove box. You will certainly have
the time to email some of these government representatives who are ultimately responsible to fix this mess while you are stopped in traffic. Please, no distracted driving.
After having this government for the last 13 years, we are insulted with signage that tells us several years hence it will start construction.
