SEVERAL North
Vancouver residents
want to put the brakes
on the construction of
the Low Level Road
section of a proposed
bikeway.

Liading the charge is
Keritie McDowall who main-
tains the construction of the
bike path will endanger many
local wildlife species, particu-
larly bald eagles. She spent two

’ hours gathering names for a
petition she plans to present to
North Vancouver City council
on Sept. 8.

She coliected 22 signatures
through her efforts.

The area of greatest con-
cern to McDowall starts in the
600 block of East Ist Street
and proceeds cast to the grain
elevator.

In addition to the cagles,
McDowall says owls, 1 red-

tailed hawks, peregrine fal-

coyotes have also been spotted
in the ares.

“Cyclists wil come down
from the East Ist Street area at
a fairly high speed causing a
startling disturbance to the
eagles,” stated McDowall in
her petition introduction.
“Cyclists going-off trail in

error or intentionally will only
wreak more havac on this
unusually sensitive area.”
Work on the area has
already begun with several
small trees and bramble bush-
es removed from the site.

“The route designed was
chosen to skirt around signifi-
cant trees. If we would have
stayed with the most ideal
route, we would have had to
cut down a lor of trees,” said
Dal Santo.

But, McDowall is more
concerned about the trees’
inkabitants.

“We want to have the area

assessed by a wild bird expert
to see if the bikeway is going
to affect their (the cagles’)
range and behavior,” said
McDowall. “My biggest con-
cern is that the cagles will just
disappear altogether and won’t
bother coming back at all.”
She said that existing legis-
lation prohibits construction
