Editor,
After 50 years, I no longer can just get in the car to pick up something at the store. It鈥檚 a trip into chaos, the mere stress of the traffic and the distance to travel makes one not go.
Gone are our local Save-On (which carries the different foods) and our Safeway (with its fresher produce). A light on every corner was hard to take, now they are going in every half-block.
You can not drive a block, wait at red light and not see more then one infraction. If you stop when the light turns they blow there horn at you. Then the car beside goes through it when it's red. I mean this occurs at every light.
While sitting there look up, check out the cranes. Forget cement city, it's crane city. This is not a temporary life for us all 鈥� it's been since way before the summer, at the very least seven months. Who in their right mind wants to live like this?
No roads, schools or hospitals. Just higher taxes.
I live next to what I believe is the only open creek in 性视界传媒 going down to the Fraser. They build a house next to me, on small property. When the digger came in, it sunk. The man jumped off; he thought he was sinking. Their driveway has sunk with big cracks in it. The municipality spent thousands of dollars to rebuild the creek as it was spreading on all sides.
Leave the streams alone. There can be no rewards in changing what has been proven to work. Why for the love of God can you not leave what is working alone. We the people that voted you in and campaigned for you deserve to be heard.
And you as our city councillors have done nothing to appease the residents. We are darn near the point of never wanting to see you people in power again.
