Re: “Green space paved for parking on Point Grey bike route,” March 5.
Three days ago, on a glorious pale-blue noon-hour, I was walking west on Point Grey Road. The North Shore was absolutely breathtaking with clouds against the mountains and some fog in the harbor.
This was my first time on Point Grey Road since the big traffic change. I counted: one mail van, five cars, five joggers, zero cyclists and two pedestrians.
I was on the street for half an hour. The place felt dead, lifeless.
I stopped the second walker.
“Do you walk this street often?”
“I do. I live there,” she pointed.
“What do you think of the changes?”
“It feels like The Morning After,” she said.
We both agreed the City took an idea too far. It was decidedly eerie.
“Maybe after they redo the sewers on Point Grey Road they can reconsider,” she said.
