NV City council vows

A North Vancouver City

resident appearing before
council last week received a
more favourable response
than he anticipated when he
asked council to halt the
erection of a power pole on
the corner of 23rd Street and
St. Andrews.

Council vowed not only to
stop that pole from going up
but also to try and stop any
power poles and overhead
lines from going up along
23rd Street between. St.

Andrews and St. Georges
Avenue.
Jack Russell appeared

before council to suggest
alternatives to a pole which
he claimed would “seriously
detract from this immediate
area (23rd St.) and will be a
positive eyesore to ourselves
and our neighbors.”

Russell said he was a
delegation of one because he
said he felt it was not
necessary to stir up the
neighbours, who are not
aware of the situation, at this
time.

The poles along 23rd
Street are scheduled to be
constructed to provide
power to the old North

power line along 23rd.

“This is the sort of
reforestration we don't want
to encourage,” Alderman
Frank Marcino © said,
referring to the proposed
line.

After a great deal of
debate council agreed to
take no further action and to
allow no poles to be erected
until the matter was
discussed with the City
engineer.

Street will not be erected until North Vancouver City has decided whether there are
any alternatives to putting a line of poles along 23rd Street to provide power to the
