RESIDENTS COM-
PLAINTS over the ex-
tension of a bus ‘route
in the Seymour area
have led to a Council
decision to investigate
alternative routes.

| By DAWN BURKE |

Residents from the
Brockton Crescent, Beaufort
Road area had appeared be-
fore District of North Van-
couver council as a delega-
tion at a meeting July 8 to
protest plans to extend the
211 Seymour bus voute,

At a meeting Monday
night, Council decided to
investigate with B.C. Transit
how soon bus service could
be provided on a northern
route and how much it
would cost.

Residents had told council
previously they were not in
favor of the extension due to
traffic and financial con-
cerns. To allow the extension
to go through, council would
have had to change ‘a steep
road grading at an estimated
cost of about $200,000.

A report to council from
the municipality's long range
planner recommended in-
vestigation of a northern
route. Council approved the
recommendation with a
unanimous vote.

The report to council urg-

is

2 - Wednesday, July 24, 1985 - North Shore News

council
further
busing

ed consideration of the the
following points:

® adoption of the Indian
River Plan in November,
1979 which called for reloca-
tion of the 211 bus route to
Brockton Crescent

© the proposed relocation of
the route has been public
knowledge since 1979

*® a northern route, while
serving a portion of the In-
dian River neighborhood
that is not served presently
by the 211 service, is depen-
dent on further population
expansion.

The report of the planner
said Council would probably
have to pre-build Indian
River Drive if service along a
Northe:n route proved fea-
sible.

The recommendation to
council also said: ‘‘Should
this northern route prove
impractical to implement in
the foreseeable future, then
the Brockton Crescent route
be adopted as the best alter-
native for efficient transit
service.””

But council chose not to
act on this recommendation.
In discussing it, Ald. Joan
Gadsby said, ‘‘l am not in
favor of Brockton Crescent
as an alternative."

And council again heard
from the public as Roger
Barrett, a resident at 4069
Brockton Crescent, told
council ‘‘We, as residents,
say we do not want this bus
service.”’
