The Editor,
Re. “Another Evergreen station? Possibly” (The Tri-City News, Nov. 10).
And here we go again. More densification and need for more public transportation. Fewer options for storing vehicles in housing developments.
With two Evergreen Extension stations near to Barnet Highway and Falcon Drive, surely transit users could have a short walk to the station of their choice. But the city of Coquitlam is considering further densifying with condominium towers and believes the purchasers will want closer transit stations.
Why not provide prospective purchasers with free lifetime transit passes and a free shuttle bus system to the current stations? Wouldn’t this save taxpayers millions of dollars — and with very little transit noise to new residents?
Another costly monument for Coquitlam and taxpayers. Look at Burquitlam area.
