A city sidewalk project will mean replacing a patch of lawn on a Burnaby homeowner's front yard with a concrete slab.
When Burnaby resident Ethan Zhang saw city workers circling cracks on the sidewalks in his neighbourhood, he thought they were just doing scheduled repairs.The lines mark the spot where the city plans to build a “letdown” sidewalk for a pedestrian crossing right in front of Zhang’s property at 4306 Parkwood Cres.
“They’re just going to do something like this and totally destroy the look of the lawn,” Zhang told the Burnaby NOW. He’s concerned about the safety for his four- and six-year-old children during the construction of the letdown and for the additional traffic he expects will come when the project is finished.“It looks like a huge bus stop. Who’s going to want to buy a house a bus-stop-shaped whatever-is-it-is in your front lawn?”
Cole Wagner, public affairs officer, said the property is located directly at an intersection which does not currently have a formal pedestrian crossing.
