Residents attack Big Mac

LYNN VALLEY residents
made it clear Monday they
don’t want a McDonald’s
drive-through to become
part of their neighborhood.

By NEIL LU
Contributing W

A full house turned out for the
public hearing on the proposed
drive-through, part of a $1.8 mil-
lion dollar commercial develop-
ment project that inchides the
McDenald’s outlet and” office
space at the intersection of Ross
Road and Lynn Valley Road.

Ten residents voiced opposition
to the drive-through saying it
would congest residential streets
and cause traffic hazards for resi-
dents and their children,

VANDALISM

Residents also said vandalism,
litter and loitering in the
neighborhood would increase if
council approved the drive-
through.

Goldie Dickson, a 36-year resi-
dent who lives directly across from
the proposed site on Ross Road,
told North Vancouver District
Council that a drive-through exit
and entrance on her street woutd
‘‘violate’’? her right to a quiet
neighborhood.

She said a drive-through would
worsen traffic safety at that in-
tersection —- a junction which she
said ‘‘has one of the highest acci-
dent rates in the district.”

If he had a choice, resident Bob
Millward said ‘‘there is no way”
he would live within several blocks
of a fast-food restaurant. Litter,
vandalism and ‘skidding tires, and
blasting amplifiers’ from teen-
aged patrons would destroy the
neighborhood, he said.

PULL OUT

McDonald's real estate manager
Paul Lachambre said the fast-food
chain will pull out of the develop-
ment if council rejects their request
to build the drive-through.

“We (McDonald’s) decided the
only way we would go into the
project was with a drive-through,”’
said Lachambre. ‘‘We will pull out
if the drive-through is defeated.”’

* Over 30,000 sq.ft. total area

McDonald's has already received
a developme at permit for a restau-
rant, but needs an amendment in
order to make the ourlet a drive-
through,

Lachambre said he anticipates

37 per cent of total sales would
tome from drive-through business
at the Lynn Valley location.
