Dear Editor:
I sincerely hope our local municipal engineers take note of your March 7 story, Twas a Dark and Stormy Night.
This was an excellent article. I had to chuckle at the quote: "It's difficult to drive on a road here, it's hilly and twisty." Apparently West Vancouver doesn't share this view as evidenced by the deliberate twisting that has been designed on 21st Street - one of the districts busiest connectors from Marine Drive to Highway 1. Not only is it twisty, you can hardly make out the centre line during dark rainy nights; even during daylight hours, drivers are regularly encroaching into the oncoming traffic lane. Excessive curb bulges at the intersections add to navigating challenges for larger vehicles as well. If the twisty design was intended to "calm traffic" it doesn't appear to have made any difference.
