Lakefield Drive (*)

• Has become a low priority with small amount of traffic according to counters.
• Letter to reiterate points from Option 3 Letter about signage, way finding, and Elwell, etc.

BC Parkway Email From Resident - concerns include the following(*) (Note: Is Highland Park MUP actually allow bikes?)

• No painted pedestrian or bicycle crossing at Jubilee Avenue. Where are the elephant feet?
• No pedestrian and cyclist controlled traffic lights at Jubilee Avenue. CoB Reply: Translink to assist
• Pedestrians, cyclists, motorized scooters and bicycles, motorized wheelchairs – all proceeding east and west on the path and sidewalk, beside very busy four-lane Imperial Street. CoB Reply: Transportation department to follow up
• Motorized vehicles turning south on to Jubilee from east and west bound lanes of Imperial Street.
• Motorized vehicles turning from Jubilee east and west on to Imperial Street.
• Pedestrians and drivers accessing popular Foret restaurant, Metrotown recycling and other businesses on Jubilee.
• No signage warning cyclists proceeding west along the BC Parkway path about cyclists and pedestrians approaching from the east along the south side of Imperial. Painted warnings on trail, and signposts needed.
• Mixed pedestrian and cyclist use of sidewalk on the south side of Imperial between Jubilee and Central Boulevard.
• Building doors open (hinging) directly on the sidewalk portion of the path.
• Other obstacles include a refrigerator, large Burnaby garbage can, utility poles, wire rope anchors, concrete planters, sandwich boards, and miscellaneous steel posts, lamp standards and other installations – among other sidewalk obstructions.
• No vertical bicycle signs posted or bicycle route or stencilled on sidewalk surface.
• When it rains water pours down from the overhead SkyTrain route onto, and across the width of the sidewalk. A depression has formed in the tiled sidewalk from the repeated downpours. (Neither the president and CEO, nor SkyTrain, has replied to two personally delivered letters about this issue.)
