Vancouver resident Jim McConnell says ‘it is sad to see that there are those who want to take away the freedom of speech from the 80% of Cascade Park residents who want to keep McGillivray two lanes both ways and who are willing to trespass and steal to do so’

Over the decades, I have not been one to put signs in my yard. However, I feel strongly about our Vancouver City Council destroying McGillivray Boulevard by reducing it to one lane each way, which will cause more traffic congestion. And so, I put a sign in our yard saying, “Save This Street.”
Sadly, someone decided to steal the sign from our property. Later, I replaced it, only to have it stolen again. Within the last two weeks a third sign has been stolen from our yard and 3 other signs from neighbors within a block of our home.
Obviously, the theft is being done by someone who supports the City Council trying to force people out of their cars. Do these people also believe it is okay to take away our First Amendment rights? I am a law-abiding citizen, who believes in the free speech of others, whether they agree or disagree with me.
It is sad to see that there are those who want to take away the freedom of speech from the 80% of Cascade Park residents who want to keep McGillivray two lanes both ways and who are willing to trespass and steal to do so.
