Editor: Re: When drivers ‘hog the box’, Record Opinion, Sept. 13.
Enjoyed your article. I’ve lived on 20th Street for 15 years and have seen lots of traffic.
New West city and police can’t be bothered to enforce the “no truck route” because Victoria gets the revenue from tickets (20th is considered to be a highway). Imagine how much quicker traffic would flow.
Also, when transit opened the new “bus barn” in east Richmond beside the casino, it added 40-plus buses up and down 20th Street (buses are empty) going to and from their routes twice daily. I have contacted TransLink, but they are uncaring.
Imagine again how quickly the car traffic would flow. And, of course, the poor design - seems to be the B.C. way.
