The City of New Westminster is looking into concerns about policing and security in and around the 22nd Street SkyTrain station.
Council recently directed staff to follow up on concerns related to security at the station and suggested that the New Westminster police be involved in the discussions.
Coun. Jonathan Cote said city officials have received some emails from residents in the Connaught Heights neighbourhood about safety around the 22nd Street SkyTrain station.
"We have been getting a fair number of emails," he said.
"We want to get a better idea what is happing there."
Coun. Bill Harper said some people have said they feel unsafe or have been accosted when they leave the station, which is in a residential neighbourhood.
"Once you are away from the station at night, it is very dark," he noted. "It is not like you are at Columbia."
Harper said the city needs to discuss what should be done to make people feel safer.
