Daniel Ferguson, 38, appeared by video before Judge Dawn Boblin who sentenced him to 17 days jail and 18 months credit for time served in custody. Ferguson also received 12 months of probation. Crown prosecutor Michael Fox told the judge that Ferguson had smashed a business' window at Ontario St. and West 5th Ave. in Vancouver. The Jan. 30, 2024, incident resulted in a charge of mischief over $5,000. Fox said the man had also thrown an object through a window at Patterson SkyTrain station April 23 resulting in $6,000 damage, resulting in another mischief charge over $5,000. And in a third charge, Ferguson smashed property at the Joyce-Collingwood SkyTrain station on April 2 causing $20,000 damage.

I am a senior and still fairly mobile, but found the sidewalks in this area in very bad shape due to the ongoing construction. There was water pooling everywhere as it was pouring rain and, at time, no sidewalk as rental buildings were fenced off and I had to walk on the road. There is very poor street lighting in this area now. This was a very walkable area before all the construction started and I think us renters deserve a safe sidewalk, especially in fall and winter when the sun sets at 4:15 p.m. I still work part-time and do pay taxes, so am I not entitled to a basic safe sidewalk from my home? My request to mayor and Burnaby city hall is to please do something to improve walkability in this area.
