Dear Editor: Re: Seventh Avenue is unsafe for bicycles, Inbox, the Record, Aug. 17.
I have to agree with last week’s letter about the new bike lanes on Seventh Avenue. I have never seen such a ridiculous design in my life. Not only is it unsafe for bike riders, now cars are parking improperly and making it unsafe for vehicles to pass each other. Why this was necessary on the widest street in New Westminster is beyond me and everyone else in the neighbourhood I have talked to.
If they haven’t already, I challenge the mayor and council to have a look and be honest if they think it is safer than it was before this waste of money.
