Re: Pedestrians, cyclists need to remember road rules, NOW Letters, Dec. 27
Burnaby Public Safety Commitee, let's keep cyclists off the sidewalk and on the roadways where they belong. Is it possible that you can assist with some type of enforcement? To date, I have never seen any.
I don't know how many times, as a pedestrian on the sidewalk, I and others have had to dodge those cyclists that are insistent to "break" city bylaws by continually riding on non-shared sidewalks.
Cyclists:
1. If a roadway is too busy, please ride on a quieter street or walk your bike.
2. A sidewalk should not be used as a method of "convenience."
3. A sidewalk is not "another" roadway or extension, unless designated shared.
A pedestrians' rights to a safe journey should not be infringed upon by the actions of the few that impact them.
With the continual and impending development in our city, this situation will only get worse.
