Letter: Roadway is a disaster waiting to happen

Just watched a young mother trying to manoeuvre around the vehicles parked between Maple Avenue S and the Prestige Oceanfront Resort in Sooke. She had one hand on a stroller with a child and the other holding a toddler.

Just watched a young mother trying to manoeuvre around the vehicles parked between Maple Avenue S and the Prestige Oceanfront Resort in Sooke. She had one hand on a stroller with a child and the other holding a toddler.

One stroller wheel was on the road, one on the six inches of gravel available. The toddler was wobbling to stay off the pavement.

A loaded logging truck blew by them as she pulled the toddler to her and visibly cringed.

IB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ve seen people in mobility scooters struggling on this same stretch of road with the same difficulty.

This isnB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t new. ItB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s been going on for years. DoesnB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t anyone in power care? Or will it take the inevitable before this stretch is closed to vehicles?
