Letter: Street closures put Burnaby neighbourhood's drivers at risk

Blocked roads compel some Burnaby drivers to use the dangerous option of exiting their subdivision via Canada Way.

Editor:

Without any input from the neighbourhood in this area the City of Burnaby has decided to close the streets at Reigate to Elwell, thus blocking any access for the present homeowners to get out of the subdivision safely.

Exiting via Canada Way to go east is extremely dangerous. If Canada Way is blocked ( usually from a car accident)  we have no way to exit the subdivision.

It would be in the best interest of the neighbourhood to at least notify the residents of future plans before implementing them.
