SAHALEE NORTH DEVELOPMENT

Residents cali for
better road access

A NUMBER of Westport and Westhaven residents are call-
ing for a second access to be planned for the new Sahalec
North Development being built in West Vancouver.

The subdivision is to include 78
lots being prepared by Interna-
tional Land Corp., plus possibly
10 more municipal tots. All would
be accessed by Westport Road and
Westhaven Road.

“Therefore, in the event of that
toute being blocked by a major
accident, whether automotive,
landslide, flood, heavy snowfall,
tree fall or other scenario, as many
as 88 families would be trapped in
the Sahalee North and adjacent
municipal Jand area,’’ Paul and
Dorothy Sykes of Westport Place
informed district council by letter
at Monday's council meeting.

“The intersection of Westport
and Westhaven Roads is already a
substandard intersection. It is situ-
ated at the bottom of two very
stcep grades. In the winter months,
both roads are very slippery and
very hazardous,’’ added
Westhaven Road resident Pamela
Martin.

Martin explained how it had
often been necessary for her to
park her car at’ the intersection
and walk home because it was too
difficult to navigate the steep hill
during a snowfall.

“Em trying to imagine where
residents of 85 more homes would
park their cars,’ Martin wrote,

The Sykes suggested a second
access be provided to the south of
the subdivision, This would not
only lessen the impact of the new
homes on the dangerous
Westhaven-Westport intersection,
but also provide a shorter route to
the future secondary school plann-
ed for Caulfeild Plateau and the
new shopping centre on Headland
Road.

“Tr ourge you to require the
developer of this project to ensure
there is another access rvad to
Sahalee North, for the sefety and
benefit of the residents already liv-
ing in the area and for those who
will one day live there,”’ Martin
concluded.

The Gleneagles Area Ratepayers
directors also have unanimously
voted to express their concerns
regarding the subdivision access to
council.

Ald. Mark Sager agreed that
some valid points had been raised
that should be considered.

A orepert from tae municipal

73 parking spaces be built for the

spaces # cessed off E:merson Drive
