• 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.)
