Re: Growing concerns on Peninsula, March 4 letters.
I agree with letter-writers Edie Williams and Daiga Booth concerning the stuffing of more and more townhouses, condos and single-family homes into the Peninsula.
We have two people to blame for lack of planning – South Surrey-White Rock MP Dianne Watts and Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner.
I must say that my husband and I are grateful for the chance to move back to the Peninsula, however, we have seen unbelievable growth since then. We live on 156 Street bordered by 28 Avenue and Mountainview, which was a dead-end but now connects with 160th.
I can guarantee by the next few years, when everything is sold, there that will be at least 2,000 more cars going out on roads that are not equipped for what we have now.
Also, schools are full and, oh yes, where is the new hospital going? Oh right, there is not one. The two hospitals that serve this area now can not hope to keep up with growth.
We have a new pool, however I heard lessons are book up till next year, which means those same people will carry on filling space leaving little or no room for newcomers.
Our taxes keep going up but what about our services?
