Burrard View School nightmare

WATER CUT TO BUILDING; PLANS FOR NEW DEEP COVE SCHOOL TEMPORARILY DERAILED

BURRARD VIEW school parents are ‘ton the verge of
World War HID" over deteriorating conditions faced by the

approximately 300 children attending (he Deep Cove school.

Road-widening work just) out-
side the school along Deep Cove
Road has cut water service to the
building three times in the fast 10
days and has atso turned the cross-
ing of Deep Cove Road by stu-
dents into a risky game of dodge-
the-heavy-machinery.

Meanwhile the resolution of
where to place a school playing
field for the $3.5 million Cove
CHIT School, which is meant to

replace the aging Burrard View (a-
cility, has unraveled again.

The plan agreed to in’ March,
which would have resulted in the
diversion of Myrtle Creek to ae-
commodate a playing field at the
school site, has been rejected.

Closer site inspection by
engineers found that the §70-foot
diversion would have cut too close
to the property lines of some
homes in the area.

North Vancouver School District
44 superintendent: Robin Brayne,.
North Vancouver District Mayor
Marilvn Saker. and North Van-
couver School Board  viece-chair-
man Marg Jessup met Wednesday
in Victoria with) North Van-
couser-Seymour MOEA Jack Davis
and an education ministry official
in an attempt to resolve the Cove
Cliff issue.

While funding is in place for the

school, a new proposal calls for
additional money to allow for the
acquistion of eight district-owned
lots west of Myrtle Creek.

The plan is to put a playing field
on the lots and build a bridge to
cross the creek to the field.

Said Brayne, ‘The District: of
North Vancouver is looking for
some reasonable compensation.
