To the editor: I'm a 50-year-old year-round bicycle commuter on Point Grey Road. I have been both hit and threatened by motorists, who I'm doubtful even live there. The 30km speed limit is certainly not observed.
There are also a number of small parks, but motorists rarely slow or stop to allow pedestrians easy access. With modern car electronics and GPS, cars could easily be limited to 30km/h when in a 30km/h zone, but car manufacturers won't do it unless pushed. Speed sells. I'm not sure which changes need to be made, but it's very clear that some of my property tax dollars need to go to improvements so that cyclists and pedestrians can feel safe in the area.
