Dear Editor,
Further to the article on reshaping the one-way of Fraser Highway, I am totally opposed to eliminating parking spaces on this stretch of road.
It is easy to say that there is plenty of underutilized parking within a short walk. On many days, every parking spot on the one-way is filled so obviously there is a need for them.
For people who are disabled, with children, only making a quick stop to drop something off at a local business, or quickly picking something up, a short walk is an irritant. Our rainy weather also has an impact on how far customers are willing to walk.
This plan will definitely have a negative impact on local business.
