LETTERS: Driver courtesy is disappearing in New Westminster

Dear Editor: As a longtime Fraserview area resident, I am finding it is becoming a less courteous area by motorists, particularly the corner of Richmond Street and Jamieson Court.

Dear Editor:

 As a longtime Fraserview area resident, I am finding it is becoming a less courteous area by motorists, particularly the corner of Richmond Street and Jamieson Court.

As one of the numerous dog walkers on Richmond Street, I find that more and more drivers run the stop sign at Jamieson Court and  Richmond.  Tonight four cars cruised through the stop sign as I stood there, high-vis jacket on myself and the dogs. They are all in a hurry, whether it be from Richmond onto Jamieson Court or Jamieson onto Richmond Street. The corner of Miner Street and Richmond is just as bad, made worse by the curve of Richmond Street.

The slow signs mean nothing to today’s drivers. People, please slow down.  A lot of you live and work in this area.

J. White, New Westminster
