I feel very badly Dr. Jon Cooper got a ticket. I mean giving somebody a ticket for removing snow is pretty ignorant. What is wrong with the RCMP?
There is no harm in doing a good deed. You would think that having Dr. Cooper clear the sidewalk along Bellerose would be saving the City of St. Albert money, yet Dr. Cooper gets a $250 ticket. I never thought there was a crime in doing a good deed so seniors can have a clean sidewalk to get to St. Albert Centre.
Why would the City of St. Albert clear one side of Bellerose and not the side Dr. Cooper was trying to clear? Why is the city prolonging that side? It just does not make any sense to me.
I am a frequent transit user and I don’t think there is any need to risk my life walking alongside Bellerose on the road to get to and from the bus stop. Now if the City of St. Albert was to clear the sidewalk, then I would have a safer place to walk.
I am fearful that after the RCMP gave Dr. Cooper a ticket they are going to give me one for jaywalking when it’s not my fault in the first place that I don’t have any safe place to walk. I think the City of St. Albert should do something constructive like clearing a bus stop or two or maybe the whole city instead of wasting time handing out tickets to Good Samaritans like Dr. Cooper.
I feel that those who take the bus should not have to stand on a street corner to wait for the bus. I thought that’s what bus stops are for.
