With so much traffic on the two _ bridges
over Burrard Inlet many people spend a
great deal of time waiting in line to cross.

With this in mind, the Inquiring Reporter
asks:

‘Should there be a third bridge
crossing between Vancouver
and the North Shore?’

Karry Phelan

North Vancouver

Yes. I take the bus and
I have to wait for hours.
On sunny days, it takes so
long to get across, you

can’t enjoy it. I
sometimes take the
SeaBus and _ that’s

quicker.

Ml Davidson
North Vancouver

Yes. When there are
accidents or breakdowns,
it’s very slow and
hazardous for those
crossing. The traffic is
very bad going from West
Vancouver onto the Lions
Gate.

Roland Amundsen
North Vancouver

Yes, definitely.
can't widen the Lions
Gate and the Second
Narrows is out of the way.
I travel across the Lions

You

Gate very much and
there is always heavy
traffic.

Donna Chapman
North Vancouver

Yes. I used to live in
Kitsilano and I took the
bus to the North Shore.
The bridge would back up
all the time with ac-
cidents, breakdowns and
all the heavy traffic

Richard Mac Adam
North Vancouver

No What do we nced a
third corssing for when
we have two bridges and
a8 SecaBus? | have no
trouble getting across and
{ go over every day

A MAN who ran a
North Vancouver
business under various
names pleaded guilty in
provincial court
Thursday to a charge of
theft involving $25,105
over a two-week period
last year.

The charge against Didier
Maxime, Paul Michot arose
from the operation of a
business at 152 Lonsdale
Aveneue last May, known
variously as The Drape
Factory, Vancouver Shade
and Blind. Nuance or A
Division of Berry Ventures
Ltd.

RCMP began their in-
vestigation after receiving
many complaints that orders
with cash advances for
drapery and blind equipment
were not met.

Michot has been in
custody since his arrest in
Halifax, Nova Scotia last
August, at which time police
reported that he and a co-
accused were picked up
while working on a 303ft.
steel-hulled sailboat.

A search is said to have
resulted in the recovery of
2,400 pounds of marine
merchandise.

The two were committed
for trial in Vancouver
County Court on 25 counts
of obtaining goods by false
pretences - primarily alleged

to involve non-payment to

merchants on the lower
mainland for marine
equipment received.

The co-accused entered a
guilty plea to 18 counts last
December, while Didier last.
week re-elected to appear in
provincial court for trial on
the same accounts.

He is scheduled to appear
again in court in North Van
Thursday, April 28, at which
time he will be sentenced on
the theft charge and the
court will deal with the false
pretences charges.

Because of the number of
complaints in the cases,
North Van RCMP will be
circulating a form letter

once the court proceedings
are over.
