The majority of Langley Township Council is keenly aware of the dangers
of Zero Avenue. They voted to install Speed Tables on Zero Avenue on
Monday, October 4, 2004.
Township Council includes Councillor Howie Vicksberg, who drives a school
bus. As a school bus driver, he is extremely aware of the hazards of
high speed travel on Township roads. It also includes Councillor
Grant Ward, ex-RCMP with a very good understanding of traffic problems in
Langley Township, and an excellent understanding of road safety issues. They
both voted in favour of installling speed tables on Zero Avenue.
Councillor Bob Long has been adamantly opposed to the installation of Speed
Tables on Zero Avenue, and a reduction in speed limits from 60 kmph to 50
kmph. He told Council in one meeting that he "couldn't drive at 50
kmph on Zero Avenue." He has tried repeatedly to overturn the decision about
Zero Avenue.
Does
Councillor Bob Long have any qualifications that make him knowledgeable
about traffic safety, or any first hand knowledge of Zero Avenue?
