Dear Editor: :

Re: Montroyal Connecior.

We live just below Montroyal on RY Bieri ge : ‘ A
Skyline. The fire hall was erected in 2 fad § hc
our neighborhood some years ago. It
is there for our protection — for the
public good. We don’t object to the
sirens on a quiet Sunday moming or
in the middle of the night. or whe
the crew “take her out shopping tor
lunch” in Highland Village.

The residents of Montroyal East
knew when they bought their prop-
erties that the extension had then
been on the books many yeurs later.

The residents on Queens, on
Capilano, on Ridgewood, on
Skyline, Highlands, and — yes —
on the existing Montroyal Boulevard
accept their share of traffic cheerful-
ly — all in the public interest.

Whether the Westwood intersee-

tion is being developed (it has been
on the books several times before)
or not is neither here nor there.
There must be a connector in upper
North Vancouver. Let’s hope that
someday we can extend it across the
Capilano River into upper West
Vancouver.

I wish to congratulate councillor
Ernie Crist and his colleagues for
standing up to some isolated vocal
ratepayer groups in pushing projects
that are in the public interest.

Trojan horse

Dear Editor:
Re: This week’s question, July
24 edition.
Your question, “Should the
Montroyal Connector be built cre-
ating a parallel northern route to
. the Trans Canada Highway” is, in
my opinion, biased and mislead-
ing in that it implies the comple-
tion of a route accommodating a
high volume of traffic similar to
that of the Trans Canada Highway
which now traverses the North
Shore.
This spectre of a parallel —
northern route to the Trans
Canada based on Montroyal and
the completion of the connector is
a Trojan horse that has served the
opponents of the connector well
during the past 30 years of wran-
gling over the matter.
