Vancouver urged to upgrade roads to lure tourists
J J Howson of Medicine Hat touring the Pacific coast urged Vancouver to invest in better roads to attract automobile traffic. He praised the city’s natural beauty but condemned the Blaine to New Westminster stretch as the worst on the route. He warned that 50 000 to 100 000 cars yearly from California could bring substantial economic returns with proper highways and hospitality.
