Dear Editor:
Thanks, West Vancouver, for servicing parks at the peak of summer.
It is so frustrating that West Van decides to close or repair beach parks in the middle of summer. Last year, John Lawson Park was shut down from May to September for renovations.This year, Ambleside has no concession (under renovation) and the vehicle entrance to the park saw "safety road realignment," which snarled traffic onto Marine due to single-lane alternating entrance/exit during one of the busiest summer weekends.
Recently, I was greeted with the pervasive smell of urine and a huge pile of garbage when I visited Sandy Cove, a park undergoing bathroom renovations since April 7. We get eight weeks of summer here; can we not renovate at a better time?
