A Squamish parent is asking council to extend a bike lane on Hunter Place to make the journey home from school safer for children.
In correspondence included in the October 6 council agenda, Cynthia Thomson describes a gap in the southbound route connecting Hunter Place with the path to Pemberton Avenue.
Thomson says families travelling from Valleycliffe use the route under the highway and along Pemberton Avenue to avoid the Cleveland Avenue and highway intersection.
Although a bike lane in front of Jumar helps with the northbound journey to school, she says the return route leaves children riding on the wrong side of the road, using the sidewalk and crossing the Nesters entrance to reach the connecting path.
She asks the District to extend the lane through the additional block and says she is willing to gather signatures and involve the school’s parent advisory council.
