DESPITE the request
of 70 neighbours of a
24-hour A&W drive-
thru to close the
restaurant at night,
North Vancouver City
council voted on
Monday night to con-

* tinue studying the
issue.

About 10 angry apart-
ment-dwellers appeared
before council in hopes of
getting some relief from the
noise before warmer weather
sets in. They asked that the
restaurant be closed from
midnight to 6 a.m.

Coun. Bob Fearnley said

lors agreed.

Bur for Ruth Bochm, a
single mother of wo children,
there is no broader issue.

“tt’s been difScult for my

children, living like this. My —

children don’t get any sleep,”
she said.

Boehm, a representative of

the North Shore Housing
Co-op, has been living in the
building for the past six years.
Every summer, when it’s tao
hot to keep the windows
closed, she takes her two chil-
dren to Sechelt to escape from
the noise.

Boehm said her window
faces into an alleyway, which is
constantly littered with. nee-
dles, fires, graffiti and people
using the alleyway as a toilet.
