Dear Editor,
Re: “Name change needed, what about Riverdale Bridge?” Letters, Jan. 7.
No. 2 Road Bridge is the extension of No. 2 Road. Why change the name of the bridge when it tells you exactly where it is?
After all these years, we have gotten used to it. How confusing to have yet another name — Russ Baker, Arthur Laing, John Doe!
When I want someone from Vancouver to visit me in Richmond West/Steveston area, tell them to go over Arthur Laing Bridge, which continues straight on to No. 2 Road Bridge, which continues along No. 2 Road. So wherever you want to go, it becomes so easy.
On leaving for Vancouver, I tell them to go straight down No. 2 Road, which leads to No. 2 Road Bridge, go straight on over the Arthur Laing Bridge to get to Vancouver — how easy.
Most residents I have spoken to prefer to leave the name alone.
