plan doesn’t.” Loucks said.

In a report to city council, assis-
tant city engineer Tony Barber said
the terms of the. Westview
Interchange project “specifically
state that no special provision is to
be made for cyclists.”

. The report also states that if the .

highway is extended to the planned
six lanes west of Westview, the pre-
sent design will be unable to accom-
modate the pedestrian corridor on
the south side of the highway.

This will affect students who
commute from Pemberton Heights
to ‘Carson Graham Secondary
School.
