Four lane it to Red Rock, or even to the old Art Knaps then that would be something to talk about

At least this will get the afternoon traffic out of the Industrial site. I was just looking at that nice new bridge and thinking how the drag race will begin when people come out of the bottleneck!

Yes, four lanes to r.r. it makes sense, with the new weigh scale that is being built out there. Plus, the terrain is condicive to widening the highway.

When are they going to do something about the dangerous railway under passes?

I assume that the session is because it is within city limits. Was there a public session for any of the other work that has been going on between PG and Hixon?

I assume that the session is because it is getting closer to election time.

Cheers

seamutt, It will be a long time before they do anything with the train crossings, CN owns it now and they will not contribute any funds IMHO.

No doubt about that Bridge!

Now that money is drying up and the final bill for 2010 will be much higher than we were told, good luck in seeing any major spending in the north. Of course the election promise machine is about to get warmed up...we all know how that works.

Basically IMO Southern BC is heading for a big revaluation of real estate, and thus a shaving of their economic wealth. They will be looking for an economic bailout and they will be looking to tax BC's industry and resources to provide that bailout... with the political capital to make it happen as their will desires. That is now IMO Northern BC's biggest threat and as a result any spending in these parts will start to dry up and new ways of shifting the redistribution burden between regions will be found to keep things going in the urban south.
