Helicopter pad site
hunt continues in NV

NORTH VANCOUVER City Council has directed its staff
to continue searching for locations for an emergency
medevac helipad to fly accident victims to Lions Gate Hos-

pital.

Council is looking into an alter-
native site to the one at Grand
Boulevard north of 13th Street
which it recently rejected in a 4-3
vote.

Ald. Frank Morris said if the
boulevard site was approved, it
could have continued as a non-
conforming use, even if council
later reversed the enabling bylaw.

He expressed doubts a helipad
would ever be built on a planned
extension to the hospital, saying
similar promises were made and
broken in the early 1970s.

Ald. Rod Clark spoke in favor
of the boulevard site.

“We don't need to study every
postage stamp sized !oi,’’ he said.
“I can't get too hung up on all the
protestations that we heard in the
public hearing.””

At the Sept. 12 public hearing, a
number of neighbors of the pro-
posed landing pad expressed strong
opposition to having it in their
neighborhood, saying council
hadn’t looked hard cnough for a
site somewhere else.

The report on the facility from
city administrator Gerry Brewer
outlines protlems with ambulance
access to the hospitai from sites
suggested as alternatives to Grand
Boulevard. In addition, some of
the proposed sites have difficult
approach angles for helicopters
trying to land, according to the
report.

The same report said the Grand
Boulevard site is ‘‘the only accept-
able option worth pursuing.’’

to your future!

The proposed facility would
consist of an Il-metre square of
paving stones, surrounded by a
40-metre square hedge for crowd
contrel It would be used for
transierring medevac patients from
helicopters to ambulances, which
would take the patients to the hos-
pitat.

Currently, helicopter pilots can
land wherever there is room,
because there are no guidelines.
They usually land at various points
along Grand Boulevard. At the
Sept. 12 hearing, a B.C. am-
bulance service official said there
had been 17 medevac Jandings in
North Vancouver since the beginn-
ing of the year.
