BURLINGTON, ON
Deer seen on the street where the Bowkers live. No wonder people want to visit them
Karen and Perry Bowker have some words for the folks in the city’s Transportation department:
“I would like to know if our City traffic wizards have, or are working on, some plan to reduce the risk of total gridlock any time something happens on one of the main highways on our borders.
“Yesterday, friends visiting from Toronto had to abandon after being stuck on Guelph Line for an hour, with no prospect of ever getting across town.
“Another couple reported long lines attempting to exit the 407 south to Dundas Street.”
I have been trying to locate a tradesman through 2 different agencies.You sign up ,pay a modest fee and they contact individual handymen to quote.
I joined both agencies on-line to become a member.Both turned me down!
The reason was most .They don’t accept potential jobs from Burlington.
The reason was the tradesmen don’t want to deal with the traffic to and from Burlington.
