The Editor,
Living on Citadel Drive in Port Coquitlam can often times remove your desire to drive to the Mission Raceway.
The drive curves through Citadel Heights with only one stop sign between Shaughnessy and Pitt River Road. It’s a major artery also going through two school zones, two daycare facilities and two beautiful parks.
Seldom are drivers adhering to the 30 km speed limits through these areas.
The streets are well landscaped with large sidewalks. Many people walk the area daily, either strolling, jogging or walking their favourite dog. Without any marked crosswalks between Shaughnessy and Confederation, you put your life (or your dog’s) in serious danger.
When crossing the curvy road with speeding cars and trucks you have to watch, listen and then run like crazy hoping somebody doesn’t hit you or at least come close.
We love the neighbourhood but the speedway is dangerous to all that venture out on it.
