‘MEMBERS of the Dundarave
Business and Merchants
Association want motorists speed-
ing through the area to curb their
speed.

“There are people who cai believe the
speed limit here is 50. They think it’s 30 and
of course there are some people who drive
through at 80,” said Joy Russell, president of
the association,

Aithough Russell: doesn’t think lowering
the speed limit is necessarily the only solu-
tion, she wants to’see something done before
more pedestrians i in the area are injured.

“There has been at least two pedestrians
that have been hit on that crosswalk,” said
Russell. “That sort of has prompted me to

get things yoing.”

municipal hall, where she dropped off a letter
to the mayor and council outlining the asso-
ciation’s concerns,

“They want a few things changed or cross-
walks highlighted,” said West Vancouver
Mavor Pat Boname.

“We were thinking of speed bumps or
humps or... (using) different materials on
crosswalks.”

The association’s concerns have been
passed on co the engineering department for
their input, said Boname.“We could do a lot
to help them,” said Boname. “We don’ t have
a jaywalking ‘pvlaw and T know it’s almost a
tradition (in Dundarave) and traffic is very
accommodating. Maybe things have gotten
faster.”

Russell, who has worked in the area for
five vears as a notary public, agrees.

“Basically people arc driving up to
Dundarave — the speed timit here is 50 — at
the speed limit or more,” said Russell. “The
block of Dundarave is a ‘pedestrian area.”
