Council won’
discuss park

s ’
nonsense

FROM PAGE A1

In debate on hearing the

i Alderman Rose

said; “It is nonsense to

entertain further input. Why
waste more time?”

Alderman Powell agreed
that further input would
achieve nothing.

“IT have studied all the
alternatives but this is the
best site. Public safety 1s
very much more important
that public recreation and
anyway the parkland in this
area (Lynnmour) is already
huge.

“No, I'm not going to
change my position,” Lakes
said.

1,000 NAMES

He added that the siting of
the firehall is very important
if the area is to be properly
covered.

He pointed out that of 24
names on the petition at-

tached to the “Save the
Parks” letter seeking a
delegation, only six ap-
peared on the voting lists for
the District and an ad-
ditional three or four have
addresses outside the
district.

Lou Kennedy, another of
the protest organizers, said

she was ready to present,

petitions with almost a 1,000
names on them, to council.

She added that given

- another week they would

been able to gather the
names of several other
people opposed to ihe siting
of the firehall.

The firm stand of council
has not’ deterred the
protesters.

On Tuesday morning, a
number of protesters were
ready to picket B.C. Hydro
workers who were scheduled
to do some preparatory work
on the site.

NV City wants

boulev

North Vancouver City
council has decided to take
the tactful approach rather
than use the iron fist to keep
boulevards in the City neat
and tidy.

Meeting as a policy and
planning committee,
Monday night, council
discussed the idea of using
the law to make untidy
residents keep the grass cut
on the boulevard in front of
their homes.

Alderman Frank Marcino
requested the item be placed
on the agenda because of
two specific examples of
areas where the boulevard
was untidy.

City Engineer Tom Scott
said the City may have
problems legally enforcing
boulevard maintenance.

With 140 miles of
boulevard in the City,
Alderman Gary Payne said
dealing with the problem
could be very expensive and
could also lead to a great
deal of if] will,

He said the informal
solution of writing a letter to
the offending person and
appealing to his civic pnde
was the best way to deal with
the problem.

After some discussion on
the matter council members
agreed with Payne.

Council was not willing to
say what would happen if a
resident still refused to clean
up the boulevard = after
receiving a letter.

Scott said City © staff
cleaned up boulevards when
they were a considered a
public safety hazard, but he
said the City might have
problems if the “the word is
spread” that the untidy
boulevards will be cleaned
up at the City's expense.
