The Editor,
Re. “More parking for Moody Centre” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Sept. 29).
As well as a full park and ride lot at the Moody Centre Station on the Evergreen Extension, as pointed out by letter writer Gerlinde Wober, the former drop-off/pick-up lane has vanished, as I recently discovered.
For tourists and other visitors seeking this transit station, the wayfinding signs on St. Johns Street are inadequate — especially when it’s rainy or dark.
A pair of Do Not Enter signs confront motorists as they approach the station on William Street. There is a small sign advising drivers to turn left or right on Spring Street to access park and ride lots — but no signage to reveal the location of the station.
As some of the existing businesses on St. Johns Street south of the station are likely to redeveloped with mixed-use developments, the station may become more visible from this regional arterial, and the park and ride lot could be expanded, with a landscaped border with adequate signage to beautify and identify the Moody Centre Station.
