MLA John Slater says better lighting at the Vaseux Lake corner could help improve safety at this accident prone location. Interviewed after opening another section of recently improved highway nearby, Slater says he thinks a barrier dividing the highway lanes would be impractical at this time due to the width of the roadway.

He says he says the corner needs a quick temporary fix and a long term solution. In the future, the Ministry could bring down much of the rock face and build a higher roadway that would bring safety for the travelling public and a view point for tourists.
