WV lane speeders PREDICTIONS OF an accident involving speeders in West Vancouver laneways have come true, Duchess Avenue resi- dent Ed Guy informed West Vancouver District Council. people who don’t smoke. Think about it. ne Pees on reprints and enlargements: ‘when ordering:10 or, more : By MAUREEN CURTIS Contributing Writer Guy recently saw paramedics working on a child, hit by a speeding car while riding a bicycle in the lane behind his house. “I see drivers accelerating down that lane all of the time. Some- ‘one’s going to be killed if some- .thing’s not done,’” Guy warned. Guy said that he began making complaints to municipal hall after he was nearly hit by a car. Later, his wife was brushed by a car while walking in the lane half a block north of Marine Drive, between 16th and 18th streets. Guy said he thought there was a connection between the incidents and the traffic light at 17th and Marine: ‘‘People see the light change against them and cut up to the lane.’’ , Guy requested a barrier be put up in the middle of the lane to stop through-traffic. Local residents would still be able to get in and out. “We don’t want to close ‘anes because of difficulties with garbage collection,” Ald. Rod Day ex- plained. Day, who favored the installa- tion of speed bumps in the lanes, moved that the matter be referred to the Traffic Committee. Municipal staff has often recommended against speed bumps because of the liability involved, but Day felt that this would not be a problem with some of the newer speed bumps. . Council and staff did not believe that the laneway speeders were necessarily dodging the !7th and Marine traffic light. “People refuse to follow the speed limits. We have the same problem in Ambleside Park...I don’t know how you get the message through to people,”’ commented municipal manager Terry Lester. Day added that many of the drivers using the laneways enter the area and then find themselves trapped with 18th Street closed off and the creeks to the west. “They're trying to get out...But it’s very dangerous because the lanes are so narrow,’’ Day added.
