Dear Editor:
When I read this morning that 20 of Greater Vancouver's 21 mayors had agreed on a new comprehensive transportation plan I knew without reading the story that it would be Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan who was opposed.
He is the most obstructive and least cooperative person I have ever encountered. He opposed and obstructed the Pacific Gateway Project that widened Highway 1 and built the new Port Mann bridge.
Almost no new low-income housing has been built in Burnaby in the last 15 years because he refuses to cooperate with the province.
The list goes on ad nauseam.
The impression I have is that he is opposed to everything and is unable to work constructively with anyone.
Just once I would like to read that Mayor Corrigan was working co-operatively to solve our problems rather than working overtime to prevent others from doing so. I live in Burnaby and am embarrassed to be represented by such a Luddite.
Garth Evans, Burnaby
