East End and Glenbow

Last night, I worked in the East End. There are many concerns about traffic and noise, and of particular interest, one family raised concerns about a tow truck business and day homes operating from residential areas in other parts of town without proper office in the home permits. Bylaws are another concern, because people think no-one enforces the bylaws and complaints are not resolved in any way anyone can predict.

The entire transportation network throughout the community is questioned because of increased traffic due to growth in all sectors. People using Griffin Road to access recreational facilities are competing with industrial traffic, logging trucks, school buses, etc and the intersections need improvements-for example, why not have right turn lanes at the four way stop at River and Griffin so that people can move through the intersection without having to wait at a four way stop for those going through the intersection east west? There is plenty of room to accommodate these right turn lanes. I thought the issues raised were very helpful and the proposed solutions reasonable.

Today I will be in Glenbow and Bow Meadows. I hope to get everywhere before the election so I better get a move on!
