Well, they heard the very vocal opposition from the community and are now coming back to find out from us what our concerns are, what our transportation issues are, and what we can suggest as possible solutions.
Apparently over the next 3 months, starting next Saturday, they want to engage in this process with New Westminster residents. The meetings will be in three phases. All meetings will be at the Sapperton Pensioners Hall, 318 Keary Street, New Westminster.

Phase 2: Initial and Refined ConceptsDiscuss initial concepts based on Phase 1: Wednesday, April 13, 2011 - 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The current Mayor wants this wrapped up fast as it all hinges on encapsulation of Front Street near the controversial pier park and approval for the new garbage incinerator proposal slated for the Canfor lands. The public has every right to be concerned about what the new UBE and Patullo Bridge road system will mean for New Westminster. Projections could increase from the current 500,000 to 1,500,000 cars a day if tolls are not introduced. What does this mean for quality of life in the Royal City?
