Thank you to the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) for putting up the crosswalk at the Twin Lakes crossing. This is a great start.
Would you please also put some traffic- calming measures around the bus stop between Tamarisk and Twin Lakes outside West Side staff housing? Cars come at high speeds along Alta Lake Rd. moving eastbound towards Highway 99 around the blind corner and don’t even see the crosswalk, as witnessed twice this week when cars didn’t stop for children at the crosswalk.
If the RMOW can afford all those speed bumps on West Side Road (Alta Lake Rd) near the sailing centre, then surely it can afford a couple more in neighbourhoods also populated by families with young children.
Traffic will increase as it does, and with new developments across from Tamarisk and Nita Lake, this is a bygone fact. Please ensure some of those development cost charges go to the residents on Alta Lake Rd.
As for dropping the speed limit to 30 km/h, kudos.
Please ensure that the RCMP enforces these speeds.
