Winter club proposal slammed

Dear Editor:

I am writing about the proposed
development of the North Shore
Winter Club site at East Keith
Road and Mountain. | am a
homeowner in this immediate area.

It upsets me to read in the North
Shere News how supporters of this
development outnumbered
dissenters by three to one. It scares

me that the supporters of the pro-
posal who were mentioned had one
thing in common. They were not
residents of the immediately-af-
fected area.

They were not the homeowners
who would be seriously affected by
this development. I also think it
would be safe to assume they were
not the people who sit in the
backed-up traffic every morning

Other candidates
worthy of support

Dear Editor:

Glancing through the Nov. 13
edition of your newspaper I had a
warm feeling of gratitude for the
abundance of well-qualified resi-
dents who have volunteered their
time to stand as aldermanic can-
didates in next Saturday’s
municipal election.

1 then observed the sign erected
at the southwest edge of the Lions
Gate Bridge where the Citizens for
Good Government (the old West
Van Electors Association?) ar-
bitrarily decided that only six of
the 10 have been sanitized for our
protection and, ergo, are worthy
of community support.

That the CGG failed to endorse
West Vancouver’s Citizen of the

Year for 1987, James MacCarthy,
should tell voters all they need to
know about Canada’s grey ghosts
and their continuing effort to ma-
nipulate municipal politics.

Quite apart from the embar-
rassment that this must have caus-
ed to those who were anointed,
what about the considerable abili-
ties of incumbent Pat Boname and
newcomer (to West Van _ politics)
Barrie Clark, to mention just two.

Any other communiiy would be
proud to have as candidates those
Tejected by the CGG, and voters
would be wise to remember this
Nov. 19.

along Mountain Highway or East
Keith Road.

The City of North Vancouver is
on record as opposing the
development, the North Vancouver
District planning department ex-
presses fears over the proposal.
Everyone is completely aware of
the horrendous traffic congestion
presently at this corner. Now this
proposal is presented, which can
only make it incredibly worse.

And why? Because the North
Shore Winter Club is in financial
trouble? Since when is it the job of
the district to approve radical
changes such as this in order to
bail out a private business? Why
should the residents of the area
pay to keep the North Shore
Winter Club solvent?

This proposal intends to change
my home environment, my taxes,
my community plan — listen to me
and the others who live there or
who deal with that traffic each
morning ... these are the ones
whose voices need to be heeded.
