Editor: In spite of my numerous discussions, via email, with the BC Highways department regarding my belief that Highway 13 (264 Street) will be twinned, and their repeated disavowing of my supposition, it appears that there is a plan underway to twin Highway 13 from the Fraser Highway north to Highway 1.
If factual, this plan blatantly ignores the traffic flow on Highway 13 from 28 Avenue to Fraser Highway, a length of road that comprises approximately 16 homes backing onto the highway. The current traffic loads are at best noisy and have airborne pollutants. This is harmful to homeowners' health, something another department of the provincial government says is of major concern.
Perhaps the appropriate government departments could hold a meeting and sort out their mandates regarding the health and welfare of taxpayers and voters. The recent federal election pointed out how tenuous a politician's hold on the public is.
