Picasso's doesn’t need parking

Dear Editor:

I am writing about the ar-
ticle written by Barrett Fish-
er concerning a
neighborhood pub to be
located at Picasso's restau-
rant. The reason city council
denied a permit was lack of
parking spaces. [ have never
heard of anything so ridicu-
lous. Neighborhood pubs
are so called, for locals of an

area to gather and have a
quiet pint with family or
fellow neighbors, so why
have any parking at all, are
we not trying to encourage
drinkers not to drive
anyway. If we had a truly
neighborhood pub in every
community people would be
able to go out for a quiet
drink and walk home, or
have a short taxi or bus ride
home.

Pedestrians
threatened

Dear Editor:

Once again, ‘‘Child’s
death mourned”’ documents
another incident where pe-
destrians are being struck
down by motorists. 1 am fed
up with the irresponsibility
of motorists and feel that
while Mr. Bright’s intentions
may be in the right place, his
conclusions are wrong.

The Districts and Cities of
North and West Vancouver
mark clearly on the roads
and crosswalks adjacent to
schools, major intersections
and high-pedestrian traffic
areas. Signs, lights and speed
restrictions stili do not en-
courage motorists to obcy
the law

When Tanya McNulty
stepped into the crosswalk
(while a stopped motorist
allowed her to cross), why
was the woman who struck
the child proceeding without
caution in an area where
children are expected to be
crossing?

{ am so. annoyed about
this incident and the daily
reminder of others like it.
Each morning I wait at a
clearly marked crosswalk
(signs, markings on the
street, and red illuminous
centre poles all designate the
crossing) and still, with one
foot on the curb, the other
in the crosswalk, eye contact
with approaching drivers, I

watch as drivers continue to
speed through.

I know there are pedestri-
ans who annoy motorists
and avuse the crosswalk
system we have, but, come
on motorists! it can be a
matter of life or death

The local pubs of Europe
have existed like this for a
long time and 1 am sure we
would be the same. Cit
council must come to grips
with the 80s and not think we
are stil} in the 50s when cars
reigned supreme.

It is probably the reason
why our transportation is
light) years behind public
transport in other cities.

I have never been to

Picasso's restaurant and
haven't a clue how Michael
Fournogerakis would run a
neighborhood pub but that
is not the issue, city council
must deal with that not
whether he has enough park-
ing space. So wake up city
council, deal with the right
issues, not make excuses.
