Re: “Senior wants safer East Vancouver intersection ,” Oct. 9.
I will not support a crossing light at that intersection.
- You can’t put a light at every corner.
- It will cost too much.
- It will take the city too long to put one in.
I have a simple solution. It will be a lot cheaper and be done today not tomorrow. In the article it has Miriam Mattila saying cars parked on the right side as she approaches Earles from Euclid.
That’s wrong. It is the left side. When I’m driving I avoid that corner because you can’t see the parked vehicles there. So remove the problem. Put in no parking signs on that side for say six or seven car lengths. Done! Euclid and Rupert have more accidents but I have no idea why.
Mattila also said a senior was killed eight years ago at that same place. This is wrong, too. The only senior who was killed was 18 years ago — my mother.
