Dear Editor: Re: lions Gate Bridge causeway, government negli- gence. The B.C. government is about to embark upon a reha- bilitation of the Lions Gate Bridge that includes keeping the Stanicy Park causeway at its present dangerous and narrow lane width! Can you imagine the short sightedness of our wovern- ment, to save maybe six trees of any significance they are putting 100,000 fives at risk daily due to narrow lanes that are not wide enough tor buses to pass without coming within inches of each other. 1 ounderstand the parks board will not allow the gov- ernment the few extra feet to ensure a sale passage. This has got to be the epit- ome of petty ideas about sav- ing the environment at the expense of human | safety. Shame on them. As we all have seen over the years, when accidents happen on the causeway they are seri- ous and usually head-on. 1, for one, will be first in fine to help the first victim of an accident on the “new" causeway sue both the B.C. government and the Vancouver Parks Board for criminal negligence. Last week cyclists com- plained about narrow side- walks (which is valid) and the press reported it in detail. Now 140 times (700 cyclists vs. 100,000-plus autos) as many north shore news (AIL BOX fiden Stanley Park causeway users have bigger problems in the narrow dangerous lanes that will continue to make that journey unsafe. Widen the lanes before it is too late, It could be a Vancouver Park Board tamily member is the next one killed on this suicide causeway in Stanies Park. Donald J.
