Thanks WG: bylaws underway to fund 208th and 216th widening

Thank you Walnut Grove for filling the hall and special thanks to the speakers. Bylaws underway: 2016:5232 is for $11.7M to widen the 208th overpass to 4 lanes and 2016:5233 is $13.7M to support the 216th interchange. When you hear about these on the TOL agenda, please reach out to walnutgrovelangley@googlegroups.com and we will ensure everyone gets notification to attend the 1st, 2nd and 3rd readings of these bylaws. Special thanks to Peter Kravchuke, Graeme Harfman, Patrick Convey/Horimoto Family, Dave Bramley, Robin Krantz, and Linda Nash for signing on to speak at the event. For those of you who could not attend, the video will be available on the TOL website, please see the link below. I would also encourage everyone to write an email to the local elected officials below to share what you think should be done on the North Side of Highway #1 on 216th. The TOL heard everything from no northbound access, to move it to Glover, to block off Telegraph Trail, to fix pedestrian access and crossing near Topham Elementary. What do you want?

I was very impressed with the number of neighbours spending their Monday evening for this cause. Thank you! The Harfmans and your neighbours.
