Dear Editor,
Re: “Tram study not worth the money,” Letters, Sept. 15.
The $50,000 study is nothing compared to the money it would cost to lay tracks on Moncton or Bayview streets and the cost of operating the tram crew. Don’t forget the trolley wire that has to be suspended over the street.
The tram barn is a nice looking building, but it is not a people place. Visitors may like to see a small building built on the lines of an original CPR station such as the one in Port Moody (not like the first station in Steveston). It could have a section to display train and tram memorabilia; also a section that sells postcards, books etc.
People can sit down and enjoy their visit. The station platform could go to the tram at a proper height for easy access onto the tram. I rode the Interurban in Richmond.
