Coquitlam is actually 3 or 4 cities away from Vancouver - but for marketing purposes places like The Hard Rock Cafe Vancouver (also not in Vancouver) and the Media, like to say they are.
As for this comment: “it’s amazing how far cops in the suburbs go out of their way to ticket jaywalkers,” That’s true and it’s because people die out in the suburbs when they Jaywalk. At least in Coquitlam they’ve been trying to curb that behaviour.
Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart later wrote a Facebook post that the city had previously “asked Coquitlam RCMP to clamp down a bit on the serious and risky issue of jaywalking.”
“Perhaps visitors from out-of-town might not be aware of that. Sorry, Mayor Ford,” the post said.
