NINE MEMBERS NEEDED
WV heritage committee applicants sought

APPLICATIONS ARE now bei, accepted for appoint-
ment to West Vancouver District’s new Heritage Advisory

Committee.

“It will be an exciting thing to
be involved in — to be able to
identify those aspects of the com-
munity that are meaningful to our
society,’’ Ald. Carol Ann
Reynolds commented, following
council’s final reading Jan. 23 of
the enabling bylaw.

West Vancouver District Council
is striking the committee upon the

By MAUREEN CURTIS
recommendation of the Interim
Heritage Advisory Committee,
which worked cn producing a
heritage inventory for the district
last year.

This is a catalogue of buildings
and sites of historical, architectural

or other significance to West Van-
couverites.

The new permanent committee
will be made up of t0 members,
one of them an appointee from
council.

The other nine members, to be
selected by council, must have
been residing in West Vancouver
for at least six months, and cannot
be councif members or district
employees.

WV trustee pushes for guards

THE DANGEROUS pedestrian
etossing at 15th and Inglewood
shouid get crossing guards now, a
West Vancouver School trustee
told the board Monday, rather
than await further deliberation by
West Vancouver Council.

“We have to bite the bullet and
put crossing guards in now and
worry | about who pays for it
later,’’ said trustee Michael Smith.

Miyor Don Lanskail wrote in a
letter to the board that crossing
guards were the best alternative to

pedestrian signal originally

ume does not justizy a signal or a

four-way stop, Lanskail wrote.

However, the board cannot
decide the issue until its financial
planning committee receives of-
ficial advice from council, said
secretary-treasurer John Cassey.

“I suspect this is not a matter
which is high on its (council’s)
list,’ said board chairman Jean
Ferguson.
Smith added council might take
two years to decide and urged the
board decision to install crossing
guards immediately.

The school board has received
several complaints from parents
concerned about students crossing
the busy intersection, trustee Bar-
bara Howard said.

requirements for appintees
changed. She was against restric-
ting qualifications to only people
with heritage preservation experi-
ence.

‘*Since heritage preservation is a
profession in its own right, there
are very few people in the country,
let alone the district, who would
have that kind of experience,’’ said
Reynolds.

Appointees must be individuals
who have demonstrated knowledge
and interest in heritage matters.

Reynolds also stressed that the
interim committee thought it im-
portant that the heritage advisory
committee have representation
from different community sectors,
such as the West Vancouver His-
torical Society, various ratepayer
associations and local citizens with
architectural, archaeological, land-
scape and/or local historical
knowledge.

The committee members, ap-
pointed for two years, will have
the task of advising council on the
need for preserving heritage
buildings, structures or lands that
Fepresent a cross-section of all
periods and styles in the district's
historical and cultural evolution.

The committee will also Jook in-
to the costs and benefits of the
preservation of such heritage ele-
ments, and the compatibility of
preservation with other lawful uses
of thern.

Most importantly, they will then
make recommendations to council
concerning designation of heritage
Structures.

Only one such structure, the old
ferry terminal building, has been
so designated. Reynolds hoped
that renovation work on it may he
completed in time for an operirg
during Heritage Week, starting
Feb. 20.
