Dollarton Highway

deliars dropped

RECONSTRUCTION plans _ for
the Dollarton Highway have been
put on hold indefinitely after pro-
vincial Minister of Highways
Stephen Rogers scrapped previous
plans to assist in the funding pro-
ject.

After having been assured that
provincial funding had been ap-
proved, North Vancouver District
Council has now been advised that
funding will not be available in
either the 1987/88 budget or the
1988/89 budget.

Ald. Mary Segal said no further
reason was given for the reversal in
policy, and Ald. Ernie Crist called
the move ‘‘inept and incompe-
tent.’’

District council had set aside
$1.3 million for the purpose of
reconstructing the Dollarton
Highway after hearing the funds
would be forthcoming. Segal said
the process had gone so far as to
pass through the Victoria
legislature.

Council has now asked the pro-
vincial secretary to intercede on the
district’s behalf.

In a letter to the provincial sec-
retary, Mayor Marilyn Baker
states, ‘‘After being. advised by the
officials in the ministry that the
design was completed late last year
and the project was to go to
tender, we are totally chagrined to
now receive correspondence from
the Honorable Stephen Rogers (the
former minister of highways) ad-
vising that there was no money ...
all of this after the municipality
had budgeted not only $1.3 million
for our share of the roadworks but
the additional $1.3 million needed

for watermain upgrading in con-
junction with the project.
“Furthermore, we are now in
receipt of advice from the Ministry
of Municipal Affairs that a Reve-

‘nue Sharing Act grant has been

approved in the sum of $337,500
to assist in funding a new water-
main. Now we are advised there is
no money for the road.”’

Similar letters have gone out to
Premier Bill Vander Zalm and the
highways minister.

John Calcutt, of the north side
of the 200 block East
Street, was ‘‘very pleased’’ that
council moved Monday to prepare
guideline amendments to prevent
developers from building any more
view-blocking developments across
the street from him.

He was also pleased council ask-
ed staff to investigate applying
similar guidelines to the rest of the
cily.
