This corner at Eighth and Carnarvon streets, where a hotel and 44-storey highrise are planned, prompted concern from readers about life in the 'concrete jungle.' This resident has some answers.

Editor:

A recent correspondent complains that New West has become a 'concrete jungle' when viewed from the Surrey shore, and uses that to segue into a diatribe about the loss of parking spaces.

I have only one thing to say to this person who wants to drive everywhere: If you don't like New Westminster's climate action plan and the nudges to start driving less, then "On your bike!"
