12 - Wednesday, November 20, 1985 -- North Shore News inquiring reporter by FOUR candidates were recently elected to North Vancouver City Council as part of a slate promising to save the Park and Tilford Gardens. But along with the gardens, these candidates also showed support for a Daon/ Brodel shopping centre/festival gardens pro- posal. Teday inquiring Reporter asks: Should a shopping centre be built at P&T Gardens? Lucas Smith North Vanceuver I think there are enough shopping centres around, but I’d like to have the gardens saved. The gardens are beautiful. Shirley Owen North Vancouver. I’m for it. i believe in free enterprise. They say |. there.are too many shop- ping centres, but 1 believe in competition. Isobel Houston North Vancouver ‘As long as they saved th gardens, I think a small . shopping centre would be “all right. . James LeClaire North Vancouver I think the world could do without another shopping centre. [ think Daon could do well by donating. some of its money to a worthwhile cause like helping the un- employed or feeding hungry people. Wayne Fraser North Vancouver We have huge expansions at Capilano Mall and Westlynn and retailers are complaining business is slow because of hard times. With another shopping centre, it’s bound to get worse. | think we'd be better off to have an industrial complex to provide more jobs. I realize retail offers jobs too, but it’s not the same. Final WV plea From Page 1 “Now maybe we can get back some of our fost business. And our staff is looking forward to more work and getting back some of their lost hours.** Before the referendum, Bob Wyllie, another of the outlet's owners, said business at the Park Royal location had dropped at Icast 10 per cent with the opening of North Vancouver's Save-On Foods. But not all West Van- couver merchants are danc- ing with glee around their respective cash registers. Julia McIntosh, manager of Park Royal's P. Lawson Travel, said Tuesday she is upset with the prospect of opening Sundays. Her business, she explained, has nothing to sell on Sunday — no reservations or travel ar- rengements can be made. “But merchanis in Park Royal are obliged to he open Sundays. We have no choice. I need fully qualified staff from Monday to Saturday, I can't afford to have them work Sundays and go without them during the week." Though Park Royal management makes allowance for cases of hard- ship or special circumstances relative to store openings on Sundays, Mcintosh points out that those allowances specifically state they are for “interim sotutions’’. Commenting on the refer- endum’s approval, Mayor Derrick Humphreys said Tuesday, ‘‘The people have spoken”. He added that the charac- ter of West Vancouver would not suffer: ‘We will continue on in the even tenor of our ways.’* Sunday shopping comes into effect in West Van- couver November 24. Mer- chants will thus far be limited to opening from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. NV RV’s OK'd From Page 11 the traffic study, fearing the development could cause congestion and adversely af- fect residents in the area. But Mayor Marilyn Baker said: ‘The idea we can pre- vent impact (from Expo) is only fooling ourselves. The fact is we’re having a fair and we want to be the best possible host we can.’’ Ald. Murray Dykeman echoed Baker’s sentiments. ‘“tAs a member of the Ex- po committee, I’m delighted to see this positive step,” Dykeman said. ‘‘] hope the ‘community will support such an idea, because (Expo) is all around us anyway.””~ Clark also supported the proposal, but requested staff scrutinize the proposal carefully so the site would be’ a good looking facility that would be a-good reflection ofthe community...

He says the park, for self-contained vehicles only will cater to groups and clubs by offering a 10 per - cent discount for pre- registered groups of 10 or over. ; “The park will give a good boost to North Van- couver,’’ said Epp who says the park could contribute $10 million to the locai economy. He bases his figure on 263 stalls times 165 days of Ex- po, which equals over 43,000 spaces.
