NEPTUNE TERMINALS POLLUTION |
Standards acceptabie to whom?

Dear Editor:

Reading your article of August
23, Expansion request gets ingry
response, 1 am sceptical of the
remarks of North Vancouver Ci-
ty’s Development Services coor-
dinator that with the enlarged pot-
ash storage arrangements proposed
for Neptune Terminals, pollution
would be controlled ‘to acceptable
standards.’’

Acceptable to whom? Presum-
ably, to some standard set by gov-
ernment officials; but years of ex-
perience have shown that Neptune
is unable to control the dust from
its coal piles and present potash
storage to a level ‘acceptable’ to
nearby residents.

Aside from that, I am both
angry and aggrieved to read your
report of Ald. Clark’s remarks

Alderman should support

Lower Lonsdale residents

Dear Editor:

North Vancouver City Alderman
Rod Clark’s comments on the
proposed rezoning at Neptune
Terminals cannot pass unnoticed.

Despite the fact that not one
response in favor of this develop-
Ment was received by Neptune,
Ald. Clark states that he is inclined
to support the application
because“...we have to weigh the
impact on our little community.”
Whose community is he talking
about?

It is quite obvious from his
voting record on council that Ald.
Clark does not care in the least
about the Lower Lonsdale area; it
would appear that he would be
quite happy to see Lower Lonsdale
transformed into a wasteland of
concrete high rises coated with coal
and potash dust.

I would suggest that Ald. Clark
keep in mind that people in Lower
Lonsdale are part of the City of
North Vancouver and have as
much right to have their views

Expansion would
biock NV views

Dear Editor:

As a taxpayer and resident of
the City of North Vancouver, I
take exception to the planned ex-
pansion of Neptune Terminals’
bulk storage facilities.

Most of the people who choose
to live on the North Shore, from
Deep Cove to Lions Bay, do so for
a variety of reasons. There is,
however, one common
denominator that we all enjoy and
that is the view of the water, har-
bor and city skyline.

We read and hear constantly of
new high-rise apart-
ment/condominiums being plan-
ned or constructed, further
eradicating our al-
ready-diminishing view and now
this, a new larger bulk storage fa-
cility for Neptune Rulk Terminals
(Canada) Ltd.

1, for one, de not wish to lose
my view. Hopefully there are
others who feel the same as I do
and are prepared to let our city
government know by speaking out
against this proposal rather than
sitting back apathetically as our
views disappear forever.

Hopefully, it’s not too late!

taste.

considered as any other residents.
Perhaps he would not be so hasty
to support high rises and potash
storage if they were to be in his
neighborhood.

that ‘...it boils down to our re-
sponsibility as a port. We have to
weigh off the impact on our little
community.’*

Mr. Clark himself lives a good
distance from the dust of Neptune
and the noise of the trains. But as
an alderman, he was elected by the
people of North Vancouver to
study and defend the interests of
all of them, and to speak on their
behalf should their interests con-
flict with those of other levels of
government, developers or big
business.

Of late, Mr. Clark’s record in
this respect has been questionable.

Mr. Clark’s constituency is the
city, not the port. The interests of
the Port of Vancouver are most
capably espoused by the businesses
using it and by the Port Authority,
none of which need his help.

The people of North Vancouver
do.
