Late yesterday afternoon (Friday) I observed the traffic on
McBride Blvd locally as I have done many times before. Who designs a highway system that leads northward through
Surrey to a bottleneck in
New Westminster that leads no where in particular. If this highway connected with
Hwy 1 (the
Trans Canada Highway), this would make some sense but it doesn't. It connects with local two-lane arterial roads that create this traffic jam. When will the
local municipal mayors,
Translink and
residents get on the same song sheet and design a highway system that actually works? People don't want to spend their free time idling in traffic when they could be with their families, at a favourite restaurant or seeing on of the many parks in the area. Why don't all the
local municipal politicians,
Translink and the
public all get on the same song sheet and design at system that works for everyone, not just for special interests? This would be a novel idea, don't you think? - V
