LETTER: Surrey needs to do something about 84 Avenue traffic

Editor,
An open letter to Mayor Locke and Surrey city councillors,
Well, it certainly has been awhile since I’ve said anything.
I read you’re putting in speed bumps to slow traffic in school zones. I think installing something like that on 84th would be ideal.
The madness on this road is incredible. It’s like a raceway. We have trouble getting out of our complex; little animals are always squished on that road. If there’s an accident you are stuck just sitting there because you can’t turn and get out. It’s more the innocent little animals that are being hit that is very disturbing to most of us.
Now people are dumping garbage on the side of the road. This road is and always has been a huge mistake. It has made no difference other than a killing ground for us to see.
We have no light to turn out of our complex. We risk our lives and getting a ticket turning left.
If you lived here, I’m sure you would be complaining as well. It’s too bad no one listens to people who vote you in. Lessons learned, that’s for sure.
Julie Cotton, Surrey
