Answering H.

I] am responding to vari-
ous comments published last
week in the North Shore
News = regarding —s the
Horseshoe Bay expansion.

BC Ferries also has a great
deal of respect for the
Horseshoe Bay area and its
community. BC Ferries has
listened to. community con-
cerns about the limited avail-
able space at the terminal and
is trying to find an answer to
the heavy traffic congestion.

A pnivate-public partner-

to answering community

gestion while — avoiding

irked at transit subsidy

Dear Editor:

It’s an outrage that North
Vancouver City employees
will be subsidized by taxpay-
ers to the tune of 25% of the
cost of their monthly bus
passes to encourage their use
of public transit, as approved
in a recent city council meer-
ing.
What about all the long-
suffering North Vancouver
City taxpayers who do sup-
port the transit systeny with
our patronage? Nobody
offers to pay 25% of our bus
pass cost.

There are many obvious
benefits to using public tran-
sit for commuters: reducing
traffic congestion, slowing
the depletion of the ozone.

car insurance, ete.

Why do these employees
at city hall need such special
treatment ar taxpayers"
expense?

Once this additional perk
is in place, TL expect it will be
adjudged = part oof ther
employee benefit package and
become just one more perma-
nent benefit that the taspay-
ers have to keep on paying
for.

Veay the mayor and coun-
cil overstepped the bound-
anes of good judgment when
they upproved this” latest
extravagance.

Let's remember this on
the next civic election.
