Re: Trucks not able to safely navigate new highway, letter to the editor, Aug. 1

I find it stunning that these trucks cannot access the Vancouver Landfill at Burns Bog even though the SFPR goes right by the entrance.
Was this an oversight? Did the SFPR engineers not see this as a prime destination for trucks?
I'm sure there are many truck drivers and Delta residents who have tried to access this site by the SFPR only to drive unnecessary miles and waste time, gas and patience. You can see a sign that says Vancouver Landfill as you drive the SFPR.
I guess it's just there as a tease.
Thank you SFPR engineers. Job well done! As to trucks safely navigating the SFPR, I was recently driving the SFPR west toward Tsawwassen. I was behind a slow moving vehicle in the right lane. By slow I mean a truck that was moving at a safe speed.
He was driving the posted speed limit!
Well I must have counted a dozen other trucks who zoomed past us at speeds that were definitely unsafe and well over the limit. These truckers are accidents waiting to happen.
