Dear Editor:
I too am concerned about the safety of my neighbourhood, the Highgate area, which I have lived in for five years.
Twice I have phoned the traffic department and have been told they are aware of the problem.
The corners of Arcola and Walker, Arcola and Hall, and Arcola and Salisbury all require four-way stop signs and painted crosswalks. This area is extremely busy at all hours of the day.
Just north of the new Edmonds Community Centre there is a brand new intersection at Fulton and Vista with stop signs and a painted crosswalk on all four sides. This is a very low traffic and pedestrian area. I do not want to detract from the safety of this area, but Highgate has a very high population density with the many highrises in the area and a large shopping centre which attracts people.
Surely the people of Highgate deserve to be safe, too.
Pat Greenfield, Burnaby
