Upgrading approved for NV’s Dollarton Highway THE PROVINCIAL government has approved approxi- mately $3 million this year for a $7 million two-year upgrade of the Dollarton Highway in North Vancouver District. The project will include grade construction, road widening and the installation of sidewalks, curbs, gutters, storm drains and ornamental strect ughting along the provincial highway, from im- mediately west of McCartney Creck to Gallant Avenue in Deep Cove.

The provincial government will calt for tenders on the Dollarton upgrade carly this summer.
