LETTER: Fences along White Rock's waterfront an insane idea

The Editor,

Re: "Gates go up on waterfront," the Now, June 12.

I was totally outraged (and I don't live in White Rock) when I read about the gates going up at the railroad crossing.

What a terrible thing to do to a tourist area. We stopped going there anyway when they started charging for parking.

Now they are trying to kill White Rock with this insane fencing idea. Why do they think they can stop people from enjoying the beach? They will get there one way or another. If they want to protect people they should build a tunnel under the tracks.

If people don't know the rules of the road, they need to learn them - stop, look, and listen. Don't blame the trains for killing people, they do that to themselves. Take the devices out of your ears and pay attention.
