Re: Kits Beach bike path a done deal,” Oct 16.
I’m a Kits Point resident and I am shocked we knew nothing about the proposal. While I support bike lanes, I can’t support tearing up of precious green space on a beach where families come to barbeque and where kids throw footballs, Frisbees, play volley ball or just run around and play. The proposed location is dangerous to park users who are mostly pedestrians.
The lane goes directly through popular picnic areas. It is amazing to me that the council that wants Vancouver to be the greenest city on earth would support such a ridiculous plan. My 13-year-old keeps asking how such a plan could be approved when it goes against all the things she has been learning at school. Even she can see the potential new danger issues for children playing. As a Kits Point resident, I’m strongly opposed to the plan and can’t imagine why there was no consultation with the neighbourhood.
