THIS Jeep TJ is one of the many vehicles on display at Park Royal Shopping
Centre. The West Van shopping centres’ Annual Sport Utility Vehicle Show runs
through this Sunday. Over iwo dozen vehicles, including a Hummer, are on display.

A sensible span plan

WITH $78 million

’ being thrown at the
Lions Gate Bridge, I
figure my two cents
can’t hurt.

I seem to be in the minor-
ity when ir comes to applaud-
ing the NDP plan to shore-
up that majestic link to the
North Shore that is the Lions
Gate.

As I’ve mentioned before,
I never really liked the idea of
a bigger bridge, and certainly

not a third crossing.
Bedroom community and all

that. It was, however, pound-

ed into my head that the

Performances at

creaky old Lions Gare needed
a major refit.

And here ‘it is. Finaily. A
few million dollars later. A
few dozen “stake-holder”
consuitations later. A few
Transportation Ministers
later. A few back-peddling,
side stepping, spin-doctored
politically-motivated battle
cries of political incpdtude
larer.

Here it is: A safer Lions
