Police kept busy
chasing cars

ended in West Vancouver with three other vehicles being dam-

aged.

A West Vancouver Police Department spokesman said the chase
started at 10:24 p.m. with Vancouver City Potice members pursu-
ing a stolen vehicle, which sped north across the Lions Gate

Bridge.

Roadblocks had been set up at the north end bridge off-ramps
by West Vancouver Police, but the stolen vehicle roared down a
bridge on-ramp and crashed into three other vehicles near the

Park Royal Shopping Centre.

The two suspects then fled on foot.
One suspect was apprehended at the scene while police service
dog Trooper was used to catch the second suspect a short distance

away.

In 8 second car chase Thursday night, West Vancouver Police
apprehended two young offenders at about 6:35 p.m. after a con-
stable noticed a suspicious vehicle cruising around the Park Royal

Shopping Centre.

A licence plate check revealed that the vehicle had been stolen
from Burnaby. After the vehicle was stopped, two suspects fled
oa foot, but were captured shortly afterwards in the area.

Man jailed
for theft

A 19-YEAR-OLD Burnaby man was sentenced to six months in
jail after appearing July 18 in North Vancouver provincial court

on a theft charge.

Adrian Murdoch Phillips pleaded guilty to stealing an AM/FM
stereo between Nov. 21 and Nov. 22, 1989.

Judge R.D. Grandison ordered Phillips to serve his six-month
term concurrently with a sentence presently being served.

City residents to decide fate
of Loutet Park expansion

NORTH VANCOUVER City res-
idents will be asked to decide the
future of a $5.6 million study area
adjacent to Loutet Park in a ref-
erendum.

By PAMELA LANG

Contributing Writer

Council rejected staff recom-
mendations and supported a mo-
tion by Ald. Frank Morris that
the area at J8th Street and
Williams Avenue be ‘‘referred to
the electorate to be determined for
park use.’’

A May 14 resolution means that
this year’s municipal elections will
also include a referendum on
whether to dedicate Loutet Park.

The area adjacent to Loutet
Park, between Williams and
Rufus avenues and from the Up-
per Levels Highway south to the
lane between 17th and 18th
Streets, is city-owned and zoned
single-family residential.

The area has no designation
under the Cfficial Community
Plan.

But Ald. Rod Clark suggested
that council was being too hasty,
saying the study area’s future
should be part of the 1991 plan-
ning work program, as recom-
mended by staff.

“There's lots of work to be
done before this goes to referen-
dum,”’ he said.

Both council and North Van-
couver residents will have to con-
sider the $5.6 million in revenue
that could be generated by devel-
opment of the land.

Because the area is not even an
unofficial park, Clark said the city
has considered potential revenue
from the property in its long-
Tange pianning.

Ald. John Braithwaite added
that a needs study of Parks, Rec-
reation and Open space (PRO)
jand, due this year, should be

allowed to come before council
before decisions on the future of
North Vancouver parks are made.

“This is vote-getting and not
good planning,”’ Braithwaite said,
referring to the aldermen who
want the issue to go to referen-
dum this year,

But said Ald. Barbara Sharp in
supporting the motion, ‘‘I want to
know what the public thinks.”’

She said that while council is
not in a hurry to develop the land,
developers often do hurry when
they see available land.

Ald. Stella Jo Dean said that
quality of life should be the main
concern in this circumstance.

She added that she wanted to

see the issue go to the public
because North Vancouver needs to
retain its green spaces.

“The area has been studied to
death,’’ said Ald. Bill Bell, who
also proposed an amendment to
include Block 220A in the refer-
endum.

Block 220A is a wilderness site
adjacent to Greenwood Park, be-
tween Ridgeway Avenue and
Grand Boulevard at 22nd Street.

Bell added that he would not be
in favor of the referendum unless
220A was included.

Clark called Bell’s condition
“blackmail"’ saying that 220A has
been a bone of contention in the
past. He walked out on the 220A

vote, saying ‘‘I won't deal in
blackmail.”"
That amendment passed 4-2.

The referendum motion passed 4-3
with Clark, Braithwaite and
Loucks opposed.
