Dear Editor:
Re: West Van puts brakes on one-block bike lane in Dundarave, April 10 news story
At a March 11 West Vancouver council meeting, council voted to reject a staff proposal to build a one-block bike lane in Dundarave. Fine, that council’s prerogative.
However I was disappointed to learn that prior to the vote, resident Don Wright quoted from an email he received from Mayor Mark Sager assuring him that “there is no support for putting the bike lane in.” Yet in the same article we learn that at least one councillor, Coun. Nora Gambioli, voted in favour of it.
It’s outrageous that Mayor Sager basically informed a resident beforehand that council would vote against the staff proposal. But perhaps no surprise, as a leopard never changes its spots, that he untruthfully said there was “no support” for it.
