A Richmond News reader believes Alberta Road, near Garden City Park, is dangerous

Dear Editor,

 The stretch of road on Alberta Road beside the Garden City Park is a ticking time bomb until somebody, their child or their dog is killed.

This is a busy section for people crossing into the park.

Theoretically, the speed limit there is 50 km/h. Give me a break!

There are no marked crossings from Katsura, through the corner/entrance to the parking lot of the park, even though there are the wheelchair accesses on the sidewalks.

This should be a 30-km/h limit, max, with speed bumps beside the park.

There are young child classes enjoying the park during the day with people flying by well over 50 km per hour.

Does someone actually have to die before you do something?
