I want to stop worrying about my husband’s commute.
I read how improvements to make Northeast 112th Avenue an arterial street (hint to the city: we treat it like one now, you are late to the game) are “unfunded.”
Yet we can afford to build new streets in the waterfront area, spend money to fix (again) a water feature down there, but cannot spend to improve Northeast 112th Avenue and perform safety upgrades that would save lives? Are expensive restaurants and condos/apartments more important than getting taxpayers to work and our kids to school safely? Perhaps Vancouver city government should look beyond the myopic of the waterfront and cast its eye east again, and fix streets and avenues that serve the growth they pushed out this way.
Where is C-Tran in all this? Why are they not providing service that runs the entire length of Northeast 112th Avenue and not in a small segment? Are the city and C-Tran abandoning us in favor of the rich?
Action needs to be taken before another child is killed, another commuter is injured, another car collision happens. Then I can stop worrying about my husband’s commute.
