It is interesting that as you cross the dividing line (Station Rd) between Aldergrove and Abbotsford on the west side that all of a sudden you observe the proliferation of trash on the Abbotsford side. So much so that even Langley has noticed the problem. Why is Abbotsford struggling with the most basics of hygiene?
