Port Mann Bridge Update EXCITING UPDATE!
Immediately following our last newsletter I received a telephone call from Greg Johnson of the Transportation Investment Corporation to inform me that he has read our newsletter and that he acknowledges that they need to make some changes to the exemptions for people with disabilities and the Port Mann Bridge. The new information is listed below. It looks now as if there is no discrimination among those of us with disabilities. There are 3 ways: PWD; CPP DISABILITY OR DOCTOR’S NOTE. To my way of thinking this seems to be a fairer way to all concerned.
Who is eligible for a persons with disabilities toll exemption on the Port Mann Bridge?
This is to confirm that a celebration of Maureen Donald’s life on December 8th has been postponed until further notice.
