District to meet with Keithlynn group

NORTH VANCOUVER
District is planning to perform
cosmetic surgery on a perfect-
ly lovely green belt, say
annoyed = residents = of
Keithlynn-Brooksbank.

By Kate Zimmerman
News Reporter

The small woods by Brooksbank
elementary school have recently
aturacted the attention of the parks,
planning and development depart-
ment, much to the consternation of
some neighbors who regularly use
the park.

One man, who did not wish to
be named, walks his dog in the area
daily. Two weeks ago, he was
alarmed to see a sign, at the park
entrance at the end of Drayton
Street stating that the municipal
parks branch was upgrading the
park roads.

Alarm gave way to anger this
week when he saw that a tree had
been knocked down.

““T have to say, I freaked,” he

for balf a

said. “All Thad hoped to see was
them taking a bulldozer with some
gravel for the trails,”

He got on the phone to the dis-
trict and finally reached Jim Slater,
the superintendent of Parks.
Planning and Development.
Complaining that the neighbors had
not been consulted, the man asked
Slater to speak to members of the
Keithlynn-Brooksbank Community
Association at a mecting at
Brooksbank School on Wednesday,
June 15 at 7:30 p.m.

Slater agreed, but he believes a
mountain is being made out of a
molehill. Slater said the parks
department is upgrading the trail
system from the Keith Road hill at
Brooksbank to Brooksbank school
to bring the trails up to district stan-
dard.

Slater said one maple tree was
removed to get its bobcat into the
woods. Permission for the removal
was given by the department
forester. When the dead tree was
spotted by neighbors, he said, “all
hell broke loose.”

He claimed many of the people

using the trail system have applaud-
ed the upgrade, telling workers they
appreciate the fact that they are
reducing the grades of inclines and
sowing seed.

Bat the neighbor who riised the
ruckus feels ihe district is wasting
money and energy.

“if it's unnecessary and unre-
quested,” he asked, “why do it?”
