Residents | plead for footbridge

Local residents pleaded’
once-again- Monday for North
Vancouver City council to
speed: up. -plans for a

footbtidge across: Mosquito ’
Creek near 16th Street, But—

although council has budget-
ed for the bridge in its latest
10-year plan, it indicated that
work on the bridge might not
begin before 1981.

Because there is no facility
to cross Mosquito Creek on
the north side of 16th Street,
children attending Westview
Elementary School face the
morning rush hour traffic at
16th and Fell.

William Edmonds, a
spokesman for the delega-
tion, said cars sometime
