Re: “Loss of parking on W. 4th worries shop owners,” Oct. 9.
To the editor:
I fail to see why business owners at Fourth and Macdonald are worried about the installation of left-turn lanes. Several other intersections in the city, such as 49th and Fraser, Victoria and 41st, and Main and King Edward have a similar lack of parking to make room for left-turn lanes, and all have vibrant and lively retail activity.

To the editor:
You know the worst spot on Fourth Avenue for congestion is the westbound Fourth turn onto southbound Alma.
Macdonald is an issue, but wouldn’t it be a compromise to have left turn signals?
This city council is making a hell of a mess on our city streets in their zeal to accommodate the cyclists. Would those spots near PC Galore et al be removed if they were metered parking? Probably not.
