Western Bypass Myths and Misinformation

Traffic Pollution Damages Children's Lungs: That's a Fact

Vernon has four schools, a seniors homes, and a daycare within 500 metres of 27th Street. If we wait 10 or 25 years for a bypass, our children's lungs will be damaged by living and learning near a major highway.

Other Options: Eastern Bypass! Why hasn't this option been given more attention? It might be the solution to those who oppose the Western Bypass. Our position is that it is morally irresponsible to have highways by schools and densely populated areas.

Vulnerable Populations in Need of Protection

How could moving a highway out of town in order to protect the health of children and those with respiratory problems, be a bad idea? It's true that the Western and Eastern bypasses will have some limited environmental and farm land impact, however these can be mitigated. Protecting our children from certain lung damage can ONLY be done by moving the highways out of Vernon.
