It was close to 10 p.m. when I looked through a window to see a fire truck and police cars with flashing lights traveling east on Buena Vista toward Finlay Street.
There was an ambulance on site and the street was closed. A car driving uphill had collided with the community shuttle bus.
I have seen few near-miss incidents at this busy intersection, with stop signs only on Finlay.
Buena Vista is a busy street with many commercial vehicles and speeding cars.
This is a small city and a walker’s paradise. Natural beauty is in abundance. I appreciate seeing and meeting many seniors and others walking on the streets, and enjoying life in the difficult pandemic period.
Can the streets be calmed from reckless driving?
I am requesting that the city consider making residential streets safer with four-way stops, and more speed-limit signs.
Furthermore, I’d ask them to provide White Rock RCMP with more resources to help them be effective in enforcing the speed limits.
