Dear Editor:
TransLink has discontinued service of the 227 bus which runs past Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge after 7 p.m.
This is an area that has bears, cougars and other wildlife. There are signs posted frequently to attest to that. Why would they place the residents of this area in harm’s way by stopping their service by 7 p.m.? If you work late you must walk in from Lynn Valley Road which is scary for everyone.
If you have teenagers returning home from school or work it can be a very nerve-racking journey. I have contacted TransLink staff and they say it is a budget matter. The bus goes by here all day long with just a few passengers.
Couldn’t they have the bus run every hour instead of every 30 minutes until a later time or at least have the 229 bus make a loop past here instead of sitting at the library for 15 or 20 minutes? It makes no sense.
