NORTH SHORE rae ae a NEWS photo Cincy Bellamy 11 - Friday, April 7, 1989 — North Shore News Group fears for future of Lynn Canyon Park A GROUP of North Vancouver residents worried about the Hyannis, which is also suggested in future of Lynn Canyon Park will be manning an informa-_ the plan. tion booth at Lynn Valley Centre all day Saturday. Their concern stems from the Seymour Official Community Plan, which designates two sites for residential development! in the inter-river area between Lynn Creek and the Seymour River, While most local residents would consider the proposed development sites part of Lynn Canyon Park, Lynn Valley homeowner David Blacoce says the actual area that is dedicated parkland is much smaller than usually perceived. In fact, he says, the suspension bridge is legally noi in the parkland. The suspension bridge and the acres of surrounding greenbelt not municipally designated parkland are zoned Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PRO). Municipal planner Kai Kreuchen says that under the PRO designa- tion, the district can go through a public hearing process to have the zoning changed to allow develop- ment. At the booth will be copies of maps from UBC's map library in- dicating the change in unofficial park boundarics from 1912 to the present. Blacoe notes the area delineated as Lynn Canyon Park has decreased steadily since 1945. Also available will be informa- tion about an upcoming save-the- park rally and hearings at district council. A petition calling for the change of PRO zoning to dedicated parkland will be cir- culated. Another topic of concern for the group is the proposed road link through Lynn Canyon, which is drawn into the district’s draft Of- ficial Community Plan, Debate at the last general 1625 Lonsdale Ave. North Vancouver By PEGGY TRENDELL- WHITTAKER News Report: DAVID BLACOE concerned Lynn Valley resident will be maan- ing information booth at Lynn Vailey Centre on Snturday. mecting of the Lynn Valley Com- munity Association indicated that those present understood the need for an east-west link, but hoped it would be put through from Demp- sey Road to Hyannis Drive, rather than from the end of Ross Road to IMPAIRED Ardagh 986-4366 SKI & SAILBOARD Hunter Barristers & Solicitors #300-1401 Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver Free initial Consultation The latter route would involve bisecting the canyon at one of its widest points, while the former would involve a bridge transvers- ing a narrow span of canyon. )) live Music every \ Friday & Saturday Night , Now Fully Licenced vs. FOR RESERVATIONS: 925-1945 1362 MARINE DR.
