The. Soc:eds and the NDP seem to be spencing most of their time sling- ing mitd at each other and they’re rot talking about the’ issues. Education is definitely a concern. They’re - worried about how our money is being spent. For example ‘the dual-entry confusion. Ob- viously the environment is high on - everyone’s mind.”’ ’ Lions. Gate Bridge: ‘‘That’s cer- tainly one [I’m personally pro- ‘moting. My thought on that is a third crossing to carry the traffic, not into the downtown area, but to carry the traffic north-south. “‘As far as where that would be, -. the cheapest route would be out in the Deep Cove area where it’s the shortest distance. The alternative would be to tunnel under the Bur- rard Inlet from say Pemberton across to Main Street or some- where in there. We’ve got to sit down very quickly and start plan- ning this because it’s going to be many, many years before anything happens on this.” e@ Social Credit candidate John Reynolds: Doerstep issues: “‘The economy is was an integrity issue. On the economy, in general terms they realize we haven't had the reces- sion they had in some of the east- ern provinces. They’re very satisfied with us as far as that end of it. They want us to keep up cur tough stands on the public service and controlling the purse strings.”’ Lions Gate Bridge. ‘There are plans to add lanes to the Second Narrows Bridge and there are reviews taking place regarding the Lions Gate and whether you build a second bridge around it or try and do something with the ex- isting bridge. I believe we'll have to build a new bridge. I don’t believe that it’s necessary to make the other (third) crossing. If you want to tunnel it, where’s the outflow going to go? “We've got the infrastructure around the Second Narrows and the Lions Gate. We should im- prove there instead of looking at something else. It’s easy at elec- tion time to premise that ‘If I'm elected, I’11 build you a bridge.’ But they don’t happen that way. We've got studies that show you can add a fourth lane the way the Lions Gate is now. We expect to have some studies early in ’92 to make the recommendations about where we should be going in the next 10 years. I'll fight if re- elected to implement those plans.”” MacKay Ave. lane development defeated NORTH VANCOUVER CITY COUNCIL A BYLAW to allow the develop- ment of laneway into a street in the 2000-block of MacKay Avenue in Pemberton Heights was defeated by North Vancouver City Council Sept. 23 at the bylaw’s reconsideration and final adoption stage. The bylaw, which was passed through three previous readings, would have allowed city staff to exchange land between city prop- erty and private land owners along the lane. The exchange would have paved the way for the lane to be upgraded to strect status. That upgrade has been central to a debate among area residents about the future of city-owned green space currently designated as single-family residential. -Some local residents have lob- bied council to retain the lane, and designate the green space as park land, while others want the lane upgraded to allow their pro- perties to be subdivided.

Province of British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Highways Hon, Lyall Hanson, Minister Javip MITCHELL On Education: 4 ¢' High quality education both basic and ~ advanced — must once - again become a priority in - this province. Currently we have one of the lowest . per capita post secondary attendance rates in the country. “As the parent of two © young daughters in our school system, I have often been concerned about the provincial government's inconsistent, directionless approach. They’ve started new programs, and stopped them midstream; intro- m duced bold new directions, and then cancelled them. ; “We need a good dose of stability in our school system. And we've got to put an end to ihe contin- uing confrontation between | government and educators. Teachers, at all levels, are among the most important professionals in our society. It’s about time we started treating them with the respect they Q deserve. e 9 ERAL_ |. West Vancouver - Garibaldi Support a Candidate Who Cares - 922-7430
