The Editor,
Re. “Fund tops $60,000 for families of two young cousins killed in crash” (The Tri-City News, May 5).
I take the narrow strip of Lougheed Highway where the fatal accident took place on my way to New Westminster or to Highway 1 all the time.
I believe it’s time the government should do something about it. Many lives have been taken the past several years by reckless driving.
Widening both sides is a good idea but how long do we have to wait until the work is completed?
I would like to strongly suggest that the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure immediately impose a reduced speed limit, from the existing 70 km/h to 50 km/h — put up a big sign!
As well, the ministry should install cameras along the strip to tell the drivers that they are being watched.
I hope the province will consider this suggestion.
Richard Chong, Coquitlam
