The Editor,
The one 40-storey tower at Glen Drive and Westwood Street will contain 273 units and if the other three towers are approved, a thousand families will move into that block.
I agree with Coquitlam Coun. Brent Amundsen, who said, “We are the regional city centre for this area. This is why the SkyTrain came here.” But assuming each family has, on average, one automobile, that means a thousand more vehicles on Westwood, Glen and other nearby routes.
I’m sure the builders will provide ample indoor parking for their buyers, so there will not be a parking problem, but what about the traffic on the streets in that area?
Does Coquitlam council have a plan to deal with a thousand more cars on the roads near Town Centre?
