Parks released a Cypress plan that _preases the wheels for $40-million worth of ski-area expansion. The approved developments include new runs and fifts and a 100-seat mountain-top restaurant, _ The report came out 10 days before West Vancouver council makes a decision on whether it supports allowing a $2-million water and sewer link from the municipality to the park, West Vancouver Mayor Pat Boname said Friday it was “ill- mannered and a title rude” of B.C. Parks to release the report before council makes its decision. “As a matter of courtesy you would have thought they would have waited until after the 4th of July, But to issue a press release DOING ITRIGHT. # BEFORE YOUR EYES. Victoria allows new runs, lifts and restaurant before West Van OKs sewer line with no consultation, the courtesy of'a phone call or any of that vis amazingly bad-mannered,” Although Boname rapped the government's knuckles, she said Victoria’s actions won't affect how council votes on the cor: tentious sewer hook-up, B.C. Parks and Cypress Bowl Recreations Utd., the private company that operates the ski area, say the development will pro- ceed whether or not West Vancouver approves hook-up. If the hook-up — the preferred option —- is not approved, an on-site treatment plane will be studied, said B.C. Parks director Rob Dalziel. Transporting waste off the site by truck, which is currently done, is another option available. In making the development plan announcement, the goverit- ment lauded the jobs that will be created. Employment Minister” Dan Miller said employment will double fron 600 to 1200 jobs, - OF those jabs, 220 will be year-round, However, not everyone is excited about impending develop- ment at B.C."s most visited provincial park. : I's not just the facilities that will be built that has caused con- cern among expansion opponents, but what has to come down so new facilities can go up. Dalziel said 22 hectares (54.4 acres) of area that includes old- growth, sub-alpine parkland and patches of logged land will be affected by development. The loss of old-growth was among the concerns expressed during a crowded meeting called by council June 23, Other wor- fies included a tack of completed environmental studies, Katherine Steig, co-chair of Friends of Cypress, has been an outspoken eritic of expansion plans, See Quad page 3
