Dear Editor: Two years ago, I wrote a letter to the editor about queue jumpers right after the bus lane onto Lions Gate Bridge first went in.
The situation has still not gotten any better and I still sit in traffic time and time again, shaking my head watching these drivers display a sense of superiority over their rule-abiding, patient counterparts, and I wonder if I'm the only one thinking why on earth neither of these following two solutions gets implemented.
It's an evident fact that these drivers tend to cheat when southbound traffic is heavy. It seems like such an easy, efficient and costeffective solution to have a police officer there during those predictable times, waiting to hand them a hefty violation ticket. Another straightforward solution would be to place a camera right around Earls Restaurant. Both methods, used consistently, would rid the bus lane of cheaters in no time. Some individuals just will not abandon their ways until they start getting hit in the pocketbook and in this case, I can guarantee the offenders will get bolder and more numerous unless a deterrent measure is put in place.
