The Editor,
Re. “Mayors talk Evergreen effects and more at BBQ” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 13).
I would ask Mayor Mike Clay of Port Moody, who blames the dismal ridership from the Moody Centre Station on the Evergreen Extension, on the lack of density in the area, has anybody ever thought of adding a parking lot or, better still, a parkade to the site?
There is no way of even stopping there, let alone parking for a few minutes. If there were parking, riders would come.
To take this lack of ridership as an excuse to increase the density enormously, which will hurt the present population and won’t alleviate traffic problems.
