Frsaer Valley – Don’t expect the expansion of Highway One to six lanes in the Fraser Valley anytime soon.
It’s all about politics and the wrong party is in power.
And even though there are one-third of a million people in the Valley, we are not Metro Vancouver. We are not vote worthy. We are not a priority.
Someone might want to remind Victoria that with 320,000 people, let’s say for argument sake, half of those are true voters.
Does the Horgan/Weaver NDP/Green coalition want to impress voters? (MLA John Marin and Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz views are below the FVN commentary)
Start with working on improving Highway One and, now that Surrey has their LRT…expand that idea to Abbotsford, if not all the way to Chilliwack.
Just sayin’.
MLA John Martin’s recent video is also part of this story.
