4~- North Shore News - Friday, December 1, 2000 Terminal From paac he said. Bursenhuis also suggested thar they build more terrics to accommodate the large aun. ber oof commuters, but Lutazmann said right now that is not an option. Several other people who have worked on the expansion project. accompanied Lutzmann and addressed dif- ferent aspects that were of con- cern to the GCPC and the board. Project. engineer Jim “Wilson spoke to the group about construction traffic con- cerns. He. said that 2.3 million vehicles travel on the highway at Horseshoe Bay every year. Wilson said that makes about 7,000 vehicles per day. “He estimated that during excavation: of the ground where the parkade will be built _ during a month this spring _and a month in the fall — there - will be 7,000 truck trips going by the school tor the two- month period. “That's the same number as go by daily,” Wilson said. Peter Sagert, from Cirrus Consulting, addressed the issue of air quality. Sagert, who canducted studies to deter- . mine’ if. the increased traffic .: would affect the air quality in the area, said his studies con- sidered the worst case scenario. 2. “If this‘ project proceeded “as planned, dhere would not be any significant change in air — ee ity for the area or the stu- ents of Gleneagles School — that’s a worst case sce: | ane he said, Showing: graphs of hi the audience Lynn Valley Centre, Dec 1,2 & 3 fo meet with our Pearl Expert Oo: y JF. ina” studies, Sem < sid the NO2 (nitrogen diox- ide) Jevels in the air, after the tall booths are relocated, would be well below federal guidelines. District, Parents Advisory Council president fulie Wysota said this did not reassure her of student. satety. “Just because tederal puidelines sav it is OK dogs not mean we should be confortable with chat. The federal guidelines have a long way to go,” she said. “We are talking about our children.” School board — chairman David Stevenson asked Sagert to cut te the chase. “What will this mean for the air quality — will i¢ go up or down?” Said Sagert, “There will be a slight: worsening of the air quality.” Several audience members were also concerned that the air quality estimates Sagert based his studies on were not from the Horseshoe Bay area. “Horseshoe Bay dogs hot have a-monitoring station,” Sagert said. Said beard member Rick Francis, “So no one: really knows our air quality and what this expansion will do to it. No one has looked at the area specifically.” Sagert insisted that the fig- ures he used were representa- tive of Horseshoe Bay’s air quality even though he collect- ed them from the Kitsilano i at area. Doug Kennedy, the pro- jeet’s acoustic — consulrant, assured the group that the noise levels ins the area. will remain pretty much the same. “There may be more vebicles, but they will be going much slower so the noise they pro- duce will be much lower. A travelling vehicle tends to make more noise,” he said. However, several parents protested that the noise levels are already too high. Said parent Nan Legate, “The children have ta stop lessons whenever a ferry ts loaded or unloaded.” Jeremy Dalton, MEA for West Vancouver-Capilano, said that vibrations from the trucks will also be a concern. Kennedy. said that the school is too far away from the road te worry about vibra- tions, “We're ‘talking, a non- issue,” he said. At the end of the meeting, Lutzmann promised the group that he would continue to work with the school and area residents to work our viable solutions. He even offered to have their landscape architect. visit the school and help beautify it. “You mean cosmetic surgery,” said Buitenhuis. Jeff Peterson, a concerned citizen, said he hoped the school board was not duped by cme ae oes ee ee eo cs com rem ca P fj a Se j ‘iy ery oun, Luce & Filter — : 21 pt.
