Dear Sir:
I just read in the Northern Connector that part of the Industrial Park intersection work plans call for 'concrete islands in the intersection'.
I hope that this doesn't mean there will be elevated concrete 'islands' in the middle of a fairly busy highway! The elevated concrete 'dividers' in the Safeway parking lot are trouble enough when there's snow in the winter - a concrete island could be a very dangerous hazard to traffic, particularly at night and in winter.
If this is the plan, I hope the planners re-consider this. A concrete 'island' was installed south of 100 Mile House years back (Green Lake turnoff). Eventually - and probably after some accidents - these dividers were removed.
