LETTER: North Saanich residents should take priority over pickleball

Users of pickleball courts could pay a membership fee to cover ongoing costs

Wain Park in the District of North Saanich.

A lot has been made about the cost of building a new pickleball court following the closure of the Wain Park courts off of Birch Road. What has not been discussed enough is the road safety on Birch Road. We live on Chalet Road and our complaint was the number of vehicles parked on a narrow road during the day, making Birch Road a one-lane road for residents and walkers. This road is used as a main thoroughfare for elementary students on their way to and from school, as well as the traffic to the local service station and corner store. 

A long-standing noise bylaw states: No person shall disturb or tend to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort, or convenience of any person or persons in the neighbourhood or vicinity by making or causing or permitting to be made or caused, any noise in or on a public or private place.
