TO DOUBLE POPULATI

In area
east of
Seymour

By CHARLES MAYER

RESIDENTS OF the
area east of the
Seymour River could
find themselves sharing
their idyllic, mountain-
side lifestyle with new
neighbors. More than
16,000 of them.

That’s the net result of the
District of North Van-
couver’s development pro-
posal for the Seymour area,
that calls for a series of
development phases and
population growth from
16,200 residents to 33,000.

Three stages are seen that
will allow developmen of
medium and high density
housing areas, with the first
of the development stages at
or near compicuon by as car-
ly as 1985.

The first stage of the
development scheme is com-
prised of areas which already
have approved neighborhood
plans and includes’ land
within the Burrard Reserve
and the netghborhood in Bur
rard West

More than 1,800) new
dwelling units are con
templated for the initial
phases

Stage one of the develop
ment plan would result in a
population increase of 5,250

A second phase has plans
for medium to high density
development in Northlands
and Windiidge arcas, and a
note of Caution by the
District's planning
department
