The Editor,
Re. “After major project overrun, PoCo taking steps” (The Tri-City News, Oct. 21).
Perhaps the steps Port Coquitlam council is taking, after the cost overruns on the Burns Road work, will protect its taxpayers from further overruns on capital projects.
I suggest, however, that council assign someone as a fire hydrant counter.
Just recently on a stretch of road one mile in length, I counted nine — yes, that’s right, nine — fire hydrants. That is one hydrant for every one tenth of a mile.
Where did I see this? The newly finished Burns Road project, the one that went $365,000 over budget.
