Highway priorities
must be re-evaluated

Dear Editor:

Last’ Friday, when returning
home via the Second Narrows
Bridge. | found myself caught in a
long back up on the Upper Levels
Highway.

When I hit the fincup east of
the new overpass at Lonsdale, I
assumed there had been an acci-
dent.

But when I! finally reached
Westview, [| realized the back up
was caused by traffic volume try-
ing to pass through the light at the
Westview interchange.

The North Shore has been
promised overpasses for over 20
years, and with increasing growth
and traffic, the stoplights are
becoming a nightmare for
motorists.

As the MLA for West Van-
couver-Capilano, | will continue

to press the Harcourt government
to re-evaluate its highway spend-
ing priorities.

The NDP government seems
quite willing to spend scarce
resources On projects in much less
populated areas than the Novth
Shore; however, shouldn't high-
wuy improvements venefit roads
that have high traffic volumes?

Since the cverpass at Lonsdale
was built, and the tunnel under
Cassiar constructed, Westview
remains the only light on the
Trans Canada Highway between
Horseshoe Bay and Karaloops.

The North Shore needs an
overpass at Westview — without
one, the Westview interchange is
an accident waiting to happen.

West Vancouver-Capilano

Less variety

Dear Editor:

Re: Varieties of vision,’
Oct, 26.

| have been a resident of
the North Shore since 1988. 1
have watched your progress
through The Citizen, The
Lions Gate Times, The North
Shore Shopper, to the News.

{have also taken to adver-
tising with you lately,

Let’s try to apply one of
the most essential items of
your paper in the word ‘‘fam-
ily.”? 1 find myself more and
mare either having to try to
turn a blind eye to the in-
creased amount of garbage,
or hiding the paper from the
family or/and hearing simi-
larly from other families!.

We do not need or want to
see that type of subject, focus
or opinion. Sophisticated?
Avante-garde? Art-Moderne?
Topic-Controversialle?
