why the hell is the city of richmond repaving the road section of no. 4 road
southbound between alderbridge way and westminister hwy?!
that section is like smooth without any bumps hump potholes cracks ditches
etc etc when compared to any other roads in rmd

y the hell r they repaving that section
if they are repaving they should repave the
section between westminister hwy and grandville ave.
that section of no 4 is the worst, its like boating in a car.
u go up and down up and down up and down in that stupid section.

i was wondering the same thing while I was sitting on my bike stuck in traffic there. I shouldn't have turned dammit.

[hung_low]

they probably have $$ from the last year's budget that they have to spend, if they don't spend it and have a surplus, they won't get as much funding deticated to paving in next year's budget

doesn't the city share the budget though, or do you mean each district/section of the city gets their own budget? there are definitely places that could greatly benefit from repaving. i am greatly aware of how much repaving every lower mainland city needs, thanks to my coilovers

i suspect they could be installing traffic sensors, shallow telecomm cables, power lines, etc

[hk20000]

no they put in some pipes and wires for that piece of empty space next to garden city between alderbidge and Westminster

hence the need to dig up the road and then repave it. Simple.

[wouwou]

^what he said

probably some capital works being done

[donot521]

I hate No.4 road so much. Bumpyyyyyy

what r they gonna do with that piece of land? its been empty for the past.... many years.

apparently, the soil there is very nice

just like wut they're gonna do with riverview - they will keep that whole area intact because its got such a nice and rare geography layout

like oooh woww and ahhh (*__*) nice soil and geography.... oooh if im a geologist now i'll have an orgasm

and fuck the road paving companies 95% of the time the road gets fucked up way worse then it was before those vile dipshits

[TOS'd]

oooh woww and ahhh (*__*) nice soil and geography.... oooh if im a geologist now i'll have an orgasm
:haha:

[alex.w *//]

they should repave bridgesport and no3

[Ikkaku]

and fuck the road paving companies 95% of the time the road gets fucked up way worse then it was before those vile dipshits

you should see this one patch (where they dig for sewage?) in my neighbourhood, they just keep paving over the original bump... in a few years my car will get stuck when I'm forced to drive over it. A lot of people in the neighbourhood swerve around it :p

[Meowjin]

they redid my neighbourhood, 4 road and amethyst for no reason.

[Nanaki]

they should repave bridgesport and no3

i agree!


Who takes #4 road anyways? If i wanted to shit kick my car i would go offroading....i avoid it like the plauge

[cdtran]

theyre doing this cuz they have nothing else to do. LOL

[eurochevy]

bridgeport is freaken horrible

[Nanaki]

^why the hell cant they smooth it out. Why bother doing a shitty fill job and have to redo it later...what a waste

[TOPEC]

i agree!

um people that lives on adn around no 4 road?

they redid my neighbourhood, 4 road and amethyst for no reason.

i think i know where this is. i drove by one day and was like wtf, y they need to repave that part?!

like oooh woww and ahhh (*__*) nice soil and geography.... oooh if im a geologist now i'll have an orgasm

haha nice explanation

[Sid Vicious]

what r they gonna do with that piece of land? its been empty for the past.... many years.

i culd be wrong, but isn't it an emergency airplane landing zone or something

[Jer3]

the secret to 4 rd is the right lane. its way less bumpy but you got to look out for the parked cars.

[Alby]

i always thought that piece of land was an Agricultural Land Reserve.

[PiuYi]

anyone go over the train tracks by shell/bridgeport lately?
if u go fast over that u can bottom out an SUV

[Raid3n]

they used to have cell towers on it, but i think it's like either native land, or it's been zoned as a non-development area or something, cause they took the towers down a long time ago.

[TOPEC]

the secret to 4 rd is the right lane. its way less bumpy but you got to look out for the parked cars.

it's still bumpy when compared to anyother roads out there.

wow LOL. i notice with train tracks, everyone goes over the tracks dead center in their lane.
if u move over a bit and not cross the tracks dead center, its actually smooth.

[rsx]

It's a swamp and people have been protesting to save it from development.

I think they have a notice of 'development pending' up..but I could be wrong (on the garden city side not the 4rd one)

[hk20000]

Another cameo of the mysterious Fourd Road.

[mx555]

shell & cambie. heading north on shell.

[eurochevy]

^why the hell cant they smooth it out. Why bother doing a shitty fill job and have to redo it later...what a waste

because they do it when the feel like actually working..until then patch job is a must so no one gets on their asses too much lol

[ravsandhu]

That whole area is actually Federal Crown property. Most of the paving has been done because they are upgrading the sanitary/storm sewers and the telecommunication lines on Garden City and the Crown is spending the money to upgrade the lines. Eventually that area will be developed and the Feds will cash in huge! There have been talks of the larger construction companies in bidding for the property which is expected to explode once the Canada line is in service.

Companies like Bosa Development, Wall Financial (who happens to be building the Wall Center just off of No 3 and Sea Island), Scott Construction are drooling over it. Eventually you will see Westminster Hwy (east of No. 4) start being developed since it is slowly being bought up by the smaller developers putting in low rise condos.

Richmond is one of the best places to put your investment dollars right now before the economy picks up and the Canada Line gets running. Or even better is Maple Ridge before most people even know about the Evergreen line skytrain plan there.

[gnat.]

it's not just no.4 though, they're doing roadwork everywhere in richmond practically! causing terrible traffic.
really irritating!

[TOPEC]

so i drove by today and they repaved one side of the road already.
doesnt seem like they putting anything under.

[!Yaminashi]

they should repave bridgesport and no3

Agreed, but can you imagine the carnage on No.3?
And how would I get to Garage 5 if they did work on bridgeport?!:haha:

[n'drew]

WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY REPAVING BOUNDAY BETWEEN 1st and PARKER! ITS FUCKEN FINE

[albert116]

was driving on alderbridge this morning, heading towards the knight bridge. This car in front of me made a sudden stop and turned right onto No.4 from alderbridge. I almost rear ended the guy.

Usually there is a dedicated exit ramp there, from alderbridge turning right onto no.4, but that ramp's been blocked off due to the construction. Therefore this guy had to try to turn from the right lane instead.

So just a heads up to you guys who happen to drive on the right hand lane on alderbridge heading towards knight bridge.

btw I love the thread title. ;)
