Dear Editor,

I am writing to express my frustration with the traffic congestion on River Parkway during my daily commute.

From 9 am to 7 pm, it takes me an average of five traffic lights to make a left turn onto Gilbert Road.

The queue of cars waiting to turn extends all the way to Leslie Road. Making a right turn onto Cambie Road is even worse, with longer wait times.

As a resident of this area, I urge you to bring this issue to the attention of City Hall.

The traffic congestion not only causes inconvenience but also wastes time and fuel. I hope that the authorities take the necessary steps to alleviate the problem and improve the traffic flow in the area.

Vicky Liang
