Traffic Issues

A number of residents in the Brow have asked for support and action to address increased traffic volumes in the Brow area. Particularly on 3rd and 4th Avenues. These traffic increases in our quiet neighborhoods have been caused by changes to the Queensborough Bridge interchange which redirects substantial commuter traffic numbers onto our inner streets.

For more information on this project, check out this link http://www.bip.gov.bc.ca/hwy91/c-updates.htm
While we continue to work closely with the City, the engineering and planning departments we need your input!

In an effort to determine the neighborhood opinion and level of concern about these traffic increases we invite you to complete the survey below and return it to the Residents Association c/o 309 8th Street or email your responses to Rick Carswell in confidence at kirkleycarswell@telus.net

At this time, the best way of completing the survey is to copy and paste the content of the survey into the body of an email, and bold your response.
