Oh well. Not like I ever have to drive through there.

Just never stop for jaywalking bums.

30 fucking KM... lol what a joke.

Cops will be too busy dealing with all those low life scumbag motherfuckers... so I doubt they'll care if you're doing 50/60. I'll probably keep it around 70/80.

i drive down E. Hastings every morning to get through to work. Eff. I guess I should start taking E. Cordova now. :okay:

LOL I saw it this morning when driving the gf to work.

WTF, seriously. :seriously:

Just wait and see how much more congested the side streets are going to be.
We need drug addict crossing signs.

In Burnaby we just throw all of our homeless people into the incinerator.

TBH, I cut through that area everyday to pickup the wife from work.
It's not just the drugged out zombies you have to watch for. There are also those asian zombies carrying their bags of grocery. Not like they can cross the street like this in asia, yet they do that when they are shopping in chinatown. :facepalm:

Splmash 08-20-2011 10:00 AM

Fuck. I usually take Hastings or 1st Ave to get to/from gf's condo. And I take Hastings when I drop her off from work or school. Now 1st ave. will probably be more congested too.

Having to drive 30kmph for six blocks on a six lane wide street is maddening.

Drove the wife to work this morning. To be driving at 30 km/h at 6:45 am is just nuts. But then again, everyone was still doing 45 km/h according to the electronic speed board they have up just before Hastings st. when heading towards downtown.

gdoh 08-23-2011 09:01 AM

why are they so concerned for the homeless drug addicts who dont contribute to society and just eat up our tax dollars....fuck em

I drove by there twice on Monday and it wasn't bad at all. Mind you, I grew up there, so anytime I go back to the old neighbourhood, I take my time and reminisce. So many people dissing my old stomping grounds. You guys can all go &%#* yourselves. Dickhead outsiders. Anything outside your comfort zone is............. nuff said. I'm gonna stop before I go into rage mode. LOLOLOL

I drive through the area daily to pick up my gf from DT. However, I always bypass as much as cracktown as possible by taking Pender out of DT then 2 blocks east of Main then cut back out to Hastings.

MG1 08-23-2011 12:39 PM

30 mph ends at Jackson, so it's really not that bad. Like Winson, Pender is a good alternative. I like going up Cordova. It's one way. I usually cut across to Clark Drive instead of going off to Powell St. If there's a train, I go up to Hastings to bypass the tracks. Damn ugliest hookers this side of Mt. St Helens along that route, though.

Right they are going to be busy writing tickets to bums with no address for jay walking. Instead of writing speeding tickets to idiots like you, who they know have $.

drove dt on saturday, my first time with the 30kph limit.
straight to the story..I almost hit a bum crossing the road.
i was stuck behind a bus so i switched lanes, and this fucking bum ran right by me.
I couldn't see him because he was blocked by the bus.
thank goodness i was going like 15kph.

i saw 3 cop cars and the cops were just chilling outside while every cay was going by at like 60

A few of us have started noticing that more homeless/ghetto/drunk/poor looking people have been hanging out and around north burnaby area.

Hastings and Alpha Street in north burnaby. You can sometimes see them passed out on park benches at Confederation Park. Considering that there is an elementary school there, library and community centre, it's a rising concern.

It was never like this before.

Next, the hookers. Then you'll know for sure the neighbourhood has gone downhill.
