I wholeheartedly agree with the findings of Council, and the Township's position outlining its concerns about the potential negative impacts our community faces if the RBT2 Project is not modified. I urge Port Metro Vancouver and the RBT2 Review Panel to provide in a timely fashion the reasonable requests made by the Township outlined in their correspondence. The Township of Langley has felt the impact of increased rail transportation through its corridor for many years, and deserves to have its concerns about future increased rail transportation addressed to its satisfaction. <Original signed by> Mark Warawa, M.P.
