Tragic collision renews calls for safety improvements to Lougheed Highway


Drivers are renewing calls for safety improvements to the stretch of highway where three people, including two young children, were killed on Friday in a multi-vehicle collision. Some commuters driving through the intersection of Lougheed Highway and Pitt River Road on Saturday say more needs to be done in the area. "It's a little narrow, it's not well lit, there's no center divider," said driver Chris Sullivan. Even the suggestion of a median won't work because of how narrow the road is, he said. "We've asked our engineers to contemplate how we could do it ... put a barrier down the middle — but there's simply not enough roadway to accommodate a barrier," Stewart said.
