Warren James Davidson, 22, was struck and killed by a front-end loader at approximately 7:45 p.m. The inci- dent is being investigated by the coroner's office and WV wants more service § From page 1 16, Horseshoe Bay vehicle traffic was down 36.6% and passenger traffic was down 26.9% compared with the same period in 1990. Meanwhile vehicle traffic on the Mid-Island Express route over the same period this year was up 104.2% and passenger traffic was up 146% over the same period in 1990. She said the BCFC has been receiving complaints about the Horseshoe Bay ferry service. “There’s a bit of a controversy about it. The ferry line-up in the summer at Horseshoe Bay can be quite a wait. There’s no place to put the cars in ils present form,”” said Lessick. ‘So far, into the new summer schedule, it seems to be working quite well. Overloads at Horseshoe Bay have been next to nothing.” West Vancouver District Mayor Mark Sager said his office has been receiving between four to five letters a week from peuple upset about the new sumer ferry schedule out of Horseshice Bay. He added that the district” “would want tO see some additional ser- BCFC vice.” In a to Sager, letter Canadian Coast Guard officiais. president and chief executive of- ficer Frank Rhodes said commer- cial vehicle traffic was down significantly on the Horseshoe Bay-to-Nanaimo route during the Canada Day long weekend. **An added benefit to reducing the volume of commercial traffic flowing through Horseshoe Bay is that it increases the capacity of the ships to carry uncerheight vehicles, thus helping tc reduce line-ups outside the terminal,” wrote Rhodes. But North Vancouver resident Wilfred Janes, who frequently travels out of Horseshoe Bay to visit his mother in Comox, said he is not impressed with the ferry service. “IU's sure not very good service for the North Shore, I think this is leading to the closure of Horse- shoe Bay,’’ said Janes. **North Shore residents must cross two to three bridges and travel the Deas Island tunnel to get to Tsawwassen. Have you tried driv- ing that route during a.m. or p.m. rush hour?" Meanwhile, a $34-million ex- pansion project of the Horseshoe Bay terminal has been put on hold while the provincial government rethinks the plan. a Onc NV man fined $8,000 A NORTH Vancouver businessman and his development company were tecently fined $8,000 for failing to file income {an TeLOSts.
