Ir will also allow teenagers and outsiders easier access to Lynn Canyon Park until late at night. Already I can hear the sirens as ambulances, fire trucks and police converge on the park to keip people who have gotten in trouble in the darkness of the park. It is also important to note that the buses chat run during the week are current- ly used very litle by the community.
