Dear editor:
Re: Bike Lanes In, Hedge Creature Out (For Now), Aug. 31 news story.
Traffic jams, construction and the relentless pursuit of density have become the everyday on the North Shore, yet there is a little creature residing on Lynn Valley Road who provides a momentary respite from the frenzy.
On my worst day, the sight of that whimsical hedge critter teases a smile from my lips. The North Shore News report that the creature and the median would be demolished to make way for a bike lane brought tears to my eyes. While vying for space for our buses, buggies, bikes, skateboards, feet and cars, the road rage between all parties involved increases. That little critter needs to remain to provide a brief but essential timeout to the urban cacophony.
