NEW WESTMINSTER (NEWS1130) – The new digital billboard next to the Queensborough Bridge is proving to be a little too eye-catching.
A number of you “star commuters” have been calling in and complaining about it and Kim Seale with the News1130 Air Patrol agrees it is slowing things down big time.
“The first day they had the sign in operation, we had traffic backed up onto the Alex Fraser Bridge,” she says.
“Usually it’s the morning rush hours that we would see that huge volume delay, but we’re seeing it now for the afternoons a lot more prevalently than we did for the mornings. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that hopefully they can turn the light levels down for everybody. That’ll take away from the distraction,” Seale says.
So far, the City of New Westminster has received two official complaints about the sign.
