Mail halted
to seniors

RESIDENTS LIVING in West
Vancouver's 52-unit Lincoln
Gardens seniors condominium are
livid over a Canada Post Carp.
decision to halt mail deiivery to the
complex because a wooden ramp
ever sidewalk construction is con-
sidered inadequate for letter car-
riers.

Mail delivery to the 2150 Marine
Dr. condominium was halted early
last week, restarted Friday, but
stopped again this week after a
10-foot jong, four-foot wide
wooden ramp built by Buron
Homes Ltd. was considered inade-
quate by local post office officials.

A Buron spokesman estimated
the drop from the ramp was about
one foot, but the company install-
ed dual handrails on the ramp as
an added safety feature.

Canada Post spokesman Bonnie
Benwick said modifications had
been made to the ramp but,
because it was also used by con-
struction workers, it still did not
provide unobstructed access to
Lincoln Gardens.

But Lincoln Gardens resident
Alan Jessup said the situation was
ridiculous: ‘You've got young
neople (letter carriers) that could
jump over a fence and now 80-
year-olds have to walk eight blocks
to pick up their mail.”

Jessup said residents, including
those in electric wheelchairs and
one who was nearly blind, crossed
the ramp daily on their treks to
pick up mail.

Benwick said the post office
hoped to restart mail deliveries to
the condominium within a week.

A bump on his head changed our
understanding of the world
