Streetcar
study to be
studied

THE FINAL fate of Streetcar
#153 will begin with a report to
took at the feasibility of a feasibil-
ity study.

North Vancouver City Council
deferred a motion to endorse a
study on the car, asking for a
staff report on the costs and time
involved in its preparation and
whether it should be a staff study
or a consultant’s study.

Councit also asked for input
from the museum and archives
committee.

Ald. Barbara Sharp introduced
a motion July 23 to study ‘‘the
feasibility and costs associated
with the implementation of the
Streetcar #153 being placed back
into full operating condition up
and down Lonsdale.”

Restoration on the heritage car
is near completion, and the study
could look at its best use, she
said.

Areas that should be covered
include the logistics of laying
track, alleviation or creation of
parking problems, and the techno-
logy involved in returning the car
to service.

“IT believe it can be cost effec-
tive,"’ she said.

Ald. Rod Clark, who suggested
the deferral motion, said that
while he didn’t support the study,
he would ‘‘bow to” staff input on
the question.

There has been talk of the
streetcar’s resurrection since the
"60s, said Ald. Stella Jo Dean,
who added two considerations to
the equation:

Lonsdale merchants have just
finished paying for local im-
provements and may not want to
pay to have track installed up and
down Lonsdale;

@ and some cities, including San
Francisco, have streetcars that run
on wheels.

But Mayor Jack Loucks ended
discussion by saying there was no
money in the budget this year for
a “‘substantial study."”

See hig trees

NORTH Shore residents will have
the opportunity Tuesday, July 31
te visit stands of old-growth
western red cedar and enjoy a
walk in the North Shore outdoors.

Randy Stoltmann, author of
Hiking Guide to the Big Trees of
Southwestern British Columbia,
will lead a free and informative
tour of the Brothers Creek Walk
in West Vancouver.

Participants should meet at the
top (north) end of Taylor Way at
