Editor:
Can we find another home for those pigeons?
I love New Westminster and get excited to see the city get beautified and developed over time.
I live next to the New West SkyTrain station, an important entrance welcoming people to the downtown core and river quay.
However, I think this station has a tremendous amount of pigeon droppings that have not been removed for a long period of time. It is everywhere on the platform level, in front of the shops and along the bus loop on ground level. The pigeons are making their home in those metal cages that were designed to hold cables.
We should block their access to these cages if possible.
TransLink was said to be tackling the pigeon problem at the newly upgraded stations, so hopefully they won’t forget about older ones. I'm not sure who manage this property, but can’t we scrape the excrement buildup and clean up the station in the meantime?
