A STREAM of Deep Cove residents gave North
Vancouver District Council what it wanted --

public input.

Over 50 people attended a
two hour public meeting,
mainly to air grievances over
Panorama Deep Cove Park
design plan.

Residents raised concerns
that:

* the design plan was a
substantial expense for the
benefit of ou%siders at the

expense of the locals

© the creation of a water-
front seawall would prevent
residents from peaceful en-
joyment of their property

e Banbury Road, an already
congested area, would
become even more noisy and
congested

© property values
decrease

© parking would be insuffi-
cient in the core area and

© Deep Cove would lose the
qualities that drew residents

* residents do not want or
need more park area

The meeting also saw res-
idents blast past and present
councils for lack of action
on residents’ letters and
complaints.

been treated well in the past.

Rutherford was par-
ticularly opposed to the idea
of a seawall and demanded
residents have more input in
the decision making process.
“We don’t want to be ig-
nored.”’ he said.

The design plan is in two
phases which are ready for
council approval. Phase |!
involves development of the
foot of Gallant Avenue and
adjacent areas, to begin in
the fall of this year. Phase II
would develop the remainder
of Panorama Park and Deep

‘Neptune -

Cove Park, to start in 1986.

The entire plan combines
two parks by integrating the
foot of Gallant Avenue. Ma-
jor aspects of the plan in-
clude a pedestrian plaza at
the foot of Gallant and
promenade, more beach
areas and parking, new
washrooms and an
upgrading in play and picnic
facilities.

The long term plan for the
area’ includes a waterfront
walkway from Deep Cove
Park to ‘Vickenden Park.

John Kinney of Hyland
Turnkey Ltd., the manager
for the 30-acre Schenley-
owned land, told council
Monday that Daon and
Brodel developments have
done their homework since
the last time they appeared
before council in February.

Kinney requested council
rescind the earlier February
25 resolution whereby staff
was authorized not to enter
into negotiations for the
commercial development of
the Park and Tilford proper-
ty.

In a letter to council, Kin-
ney said the developers
