The Editor,
New parking restrictions have recently been imposed on those parking at the playing fields on Runnel Drive in Coquitlam.
The signs say parking is allowed for two hours only.
I and several people I know regularly walk the Coquitlam Crunch and beyond, and sometimes have to shorten our hike because of this. Parking on the road itself is often not an option as the area is full.
When walking, hiking, socializing, exercising, being outdoors is stressed as being so important to our lives, why impose this restriction?
If a restriction is necessary to stop the area being used for carpooling, let’s face it, that type of area is much needed as well. At least allow four hours of parking, as many places do.
