Ridiculous! It's not like Cheese Crafters just appeared there. The engineers in this town need their butts kicked. Get with it David Pollock and Michael Eng - how could you let this happen? Stop being so car centric!!!

HUB Cycling Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Committee provided the following comments after the Open House held by the City earlier this year for this road project:
The plans show no accessibility to Golden Ears Cheeseworks for
cyclists and pedestrians; this needs to be addressed. As there is no
nearby pedestrian crossing, and the south shoulder is not
recommended to be used by cyclists, let alone pedestrians, it is
unlikely that any cyclists other than some strong and fearless types
will be able to visit Golden Ears Cheeseworks. Our HUB Cycling
committee will not be able to offer this destination on our popular
annual Bike to Farms event if the accessibility issue is not
addressed. Bi-directional paths on one side of the road only often
tend to lead to accessibility issues. Destinations are even more
important for cyclists than they are for drivers, as they're more
likely to stop than drivers for food, drink and a rest along the way.
Improving accessibility to all users will help encourage more
destinations along recreational bike routes.

We enjoyed riding our bikes to Cheesecrafters for breakfast or lunch without having to cross the road. The bike path is on the wrong side of the road. Poor planning with little regard for businesses

Not having a safe crosswalk is not an option . People will cross anyhow and it will be on city planners heads when accidents happen .

Needs to be a safe crossing - too much traffic along there to cross without proper crosswalk.

Well that was poorly planned. Now there will be a stop on a supposedly through road??? Who didn't actually look at the area they were planning out?
