10 - Sunday, July £7 1Y88 ~ North Shore News ACCESS TO SHOPS IMPEDED West Van mayor appeais for shoppers’ continued support WEST VANCOUVER Mayor Don Lanskail has issued a public appeal imploring North Shore residents to continue their support of Ambleside and Dundarave merchants while construction in the area is under way. Said Lanskail in his statement: “The merchants of Dundarave and Ambleside have shown consider- able initiative in secking to im- prove and revitalize the respective business areas in which they operate. This will lead very soon to a better community because the local merchants constitute a very important part of our municipali- ty. “Unfortunately work of this kind inevitably causes inconve- nience during the construction period and this makes it somewhat more difficult for customers doing their shopping. As the News points out, there is some ‘Short-term pain for long-term gain.’ “Because these business groups are so important to our communi- ty, | make an appeal to all West By MICHA News Reporte Vancouverites who normally shop in these areas to put up with the temporary inconvenience and con- tinue patronizing the shops in Dundarave and Ambleside so that our local merchants will not suffer too much during the construction period.” Dundarave Business Association president Duncan Watt said the Dundarave revitalization program, which entailed similar construction work to that currently underway at Ambleside, is nearing completion. But said Wait: ‘‘We opted for a longer construction program and never had a total road closure.”’ Watt has seen the Dundarave ABBOTSFORD 326-4?

It’s got everybody go- ing and getting together to pro- mote business. The first two mon- ths were very, very painful, but it’s turned around now. For the smaller retail areas to survive, they have to go through this to hold on to the business they have.’’ Ambleside Village Business Association president Bill Irwin said he can understand the frustra- tion expressed by Ambleside mer- chants currently suffering a loss of business, but, ‘‘The road was shot to glory and the sidewalk was shot to heck in some areas. It could have been done piecemeal, but the idea is to do it all at once and get it out of the way. Before J die, I'd like to have a nice smooth ride down Marine. The way it was, my false teeth would have popped out.”” BURNABY 106-4501 NORTH RD. Mon-Sat 8 006 00 420-7722 5500 KINGSWAY Mon Sat 8 00 6 00 448 1568 NORTH VANCOUVER PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS JAMES M.
