An
open Letter to
Honourable Kevin Falcon, Minister of Transportation:
Both
east and west walkways on the Queensborough Bridge are now open
to pedestrians and cyclists. It feels very safe to walk across the
bridge now, thank you.
Since
the engineers and other workmen are still working on the bridge,
would you please ask them to put a staircase on the west side of
the bridge right beneath the trail on Queensborough Landing? At
the moment there are no bus routes to the Landing; the staircase
will provide a shorter route and cut pedestrian travel time from
22nd Avenue Skytrain Station to the Landing by half. The photograph
below shows the Queensborough Bridge as seen from the trail beneath
the bridge.
Please
consider this request favourably.
Truly
yours,
M.A-B
