Say ‘ne’ to WV twin towers

Dear Editor:

I am am architect and ure a
planner who has lived in
Ambleside for 13 years. I urge res-
idents to vote ‘no’ on the 320
Taylor Way plebiscite to ensure
that a portion of the site remains
available to accommodate future
changes/improvements to the
Taylor Way/Marine Drive in-
tersection.

Consider, for example, how
would a grade separated intersec-
tion at this location ever be ac-
commodated on ‘less land’ than
that of the present roadways only?
A grade separated intersection may
be necessary to accommodate a
future Low Level Road, which will
have to terminate somewhere west
of the Capilano River.

What are the alternatives to
Taylor Way? Perhaps lith, 13th

or 15th Street. Each of these would
severely impact Ambleside Park
and well-established residential
neighborhoods.

Now is the time to preserve all
traffic improvement options. Any
new building development at 320
Taylor Way should be discouraged
at this time.

Return Capilano to park space

Eventually this corner was bought back by the

Dear Editor:

I can remember when we entered West Vancouver,
breathing our lungs full of the fresh greenery on the

west Capilano.

Then came the day when a naively greedy council
sold this land to a motor company for a paltry
$20,000, even though a generous citizen agreed to pay
that amount to keep the land as park. The company
was to have a showroom — no proliferation of parked

cars.

of planners has dreamt up nightmare ideas.

Many of you have travelled
elsewhere, and have enjoyed sylvan walks on river
banks (eg. along the Thames or at Salisbury). Our
Capilano could be just as beautiful. Let’s return it to

‘Pre-packaged slate’ questioned

Dear Editor:

Vote for a pre-packaged slate of
candidates proposed by a group of
anonymous ‘‘concerned citizens’?
I can’t buy that. It’s like donating
at one of those “mystery bundles’”’
booths at a church bazaar — a risk
— except that much more is at
stake in Saturday’s West Van-
couver municipal elections.

That’s why we must be sure that
the people we elect have proven

records of ability and credibility,
with no hidden ties that could im-
pede their judgment on issues af-
fecting West Van’s future.

Mayor Don Lanskail, a!derman
Pat Boname and school board
chairman Barbara Howard have
already demonstrated their com-
mitment to our community. Jim
