"In most cases, I was pleased with the response we received and receptiveness to the issues that we have at hand," said Pemberton Mayor Jordan Sturdy during Tuedsay's (Oct. 2) council meeting. "Granted, though, these are 15-minute meetings. It's really difficult to go into any kind of substantial discussion.
"We'll receive letters of follow-up from the minister or ministry staff, which will create a point in time where we can have a dialogue and refer back to discussions that we've had."
In a meeting with transportation minister Mary Polak, Gimse said she and Village of Pemberton representatives brought up a number of issues with conditions on Highway 99 north of Whistler, including the need to improve shoulders for cyclists and the necessity of a northbound passing lane on Suicide Hill instead of the "informal arrangement" that currently exists.
