I try to get into the elevator at the New West SkyTrain station with other women and women with babies so we'll ALL feel safer. That way if someone unsavoury bursts in at the last moment one of us will able to find our cell phone (or the emergency button?). I'm increasingly conscious of the fact that I can't run very quickly these days due to a chronic Achilles tendon issue. But then neither can people with bags of groceries or babies in tow! Thanks, Jen.

I also don't feel safe going into a deserted, dark area - and very tempted to take the stroller up the escalator instead.

I'm torn about New West - I want it to stay small town, but I want it to grow up to have a presence in the Metro Vancouver area. Sort of a cake and eat it too. I walk to the skytrain for various things, down the ridiculous big hill to the station. I NEVER feel safe at New West skytrain station. Especially now with the construction, the elevators are on the hardly used side, and walking along Columbia in front of the now-empty Sally Ann building to get around to the elevator access is gross, loud, and takes so long. And its all because for whatever reason they decided to install a FENCE so that users of the train must access the platform from 8th Street. I hate it. As always Ruth, well said.
