Letter: Burnaby's Willingdon linear path is a death trap

Editor: Once again this morning, I almost got hit by a car on the new Willingdon linear path. It doesn’t matter if you’re riding a bike, scooter, skateboard or are some kid rolling down with his wheely shoes, the linear path is a death trap.

Once again this morning, I almost got hit by a car on the new Willingdon linear path.

It doesn’t matter if you’re riding a bike, scooter, skateboard or are some kid rolling down with his wheely shoes, the linear path is a death trap.

Motorists do not stop at the stop sign, they stop abruptly right at the corner while looking left to see if there’s oncoming traffic, never looking for a second what is coming down the path.

People are far too concerned with their stupid phones and their important lives to worry about killing some kid trying to enjoy the summer.

Pay attention, idiots.
