I grew up in the fifties and remember annual treks out to Lulu Island at harvest time to buy our fifty pound bags of veggies for the winter. As everyone knows that farmland is now condos and hotels ad nauseum throughout the roads en route to YVR.
For the naysayers to rant on about saving the farmland in Langley in the area in question is ludicrous. The area in question hosts a small herd of cattle, a waterfowl and tree sanctuary and a couple of tree farms. The time for worrying about the food supply was about forty years ago when Langley was mostly rural. This is not that time. Most of the properties in the rural area east of 216th are not farms either but have small acreages where they keep a few horses in the genre of hobby farms, and once you reach 64th and 232 there is a blueberry farm, hardly what one could call a secure food supply.
There are also several large parcels that haven¹t grown anything other than crab grass for over 25 years. Why haven¹t the naysayers been in an uproar why these "valuable lands" haven't produced anything but weeds all these years? On the southwest side of 216th and 64th there are a few small acreages and then continuing south on 216th, voila, you hit the mighty sports field with the blinding lights adjacent to LSS.
The Green Emperor has no vegetables and no clothes and hopefully before too long he will have no place to sit. One additional thing though, I have thought of a great name for the new overpass: The Veggie Tales Overpass!
100% for the Mufford/Glover Overpass,

Nice letter.
It is interesting to hear why no one at the *** blog or ***** Toad talk about the deficit Green/Richter slate will create with a .93% increase. They are just fooling their supporters. No one talks about Richter's motion of snow removal yet wants only a .93% tax hike. Who the heck was going to pay for it if it was approved Kim? Like talking out of both sides of your mouth....tell us what you really stand for Kim. We certainly can't tell from your motions...
Edited By Langley Record Editor...we don't plan to advertise for "them" anymore.
That's funny.
I wonder if Kim Richter thinks about the budget when she tries to put through ridiculous motion like snow removal?
If she is worried about spending, maybe she can stop using her Township expense account? That would be a statement.
