Whistler Photography and Tours: Rock Creek - Merritt

We just finished a 4 day circuit in southern BC. Just great weather ... until we hit Squamish 5o k from home, and a little rain.

Environmental Comment

As I sat in traffic yesterday, going nowhere I thought of the tons of pollutants spewing from the exhausts of other cars in our own fair city of Vancouver. The city has already declared no idle zones around the area and that's a good thing. But the gridlock gives a much bigger additive to the pollution than the curb stops I would think. So why don't we extend Rush Hours from 9 am to 11 am or more. This may apply to main arterials and collectors and maybe even local routes depending on business input.

Also traffic light loop detectors and synchronicity in this day and age of technology must surely be reasonable to install and maintain efficiently. Any other cities out there that have addressed this simple issue?
