Editor:
There are a lot of people in New Westminster that have strong opinions against the bike lane.
Some of your readers even like to spew misinformation about "1/1000 of one per cent will use the bike lane." Which means there are seven cyclists in New Westminster. (I'm fairly confident there are more than seven.)
Contrary to what your misinformed readers say, there are hundreds of cyclists in New Westminster. The bike lanes make it way safer for cyclists and pedestrians. The streets they have put the lanes on are wide enough for regular car traffic and the lanes.
So why do your readers mostly all complain about these lanes? That's easy, because it isn't for them and only projects that benefit them are OK. Basically they are all selfish.
