' Area traffic and safety issues raised

SOME CAULFEILD-AREA resi-
dents continue io raise concerns
over a new West Vancouver neigh-
bor.that will take up. 8, 600 sy.
mictres (92,573 sq. ft.), house over
700 teenagers and ‘add, residents
say, to existing traffic congestion.

The new ‘kid on the block will
~ be Caulfeild- middle school, and
residents in the western part of
West Vancouver are delighted that
-they won't have to ship their
tcenagers to one of the three sec-
ondary schools in the cast any
more.,. oo,

» -But those living opposite the
school site, located to the south of
- the Upper Levels Highway next to
. the Caulfeild shopping centre, are
~ concerned about the school's
impact on their neighborhood. ;

Al its Dec. 20 mecting, West
Vancouver District Council com-
. plimented residents and members

‘of a committee set up to examine
concems about the school’s layout,
its parking lot and accesses.

The committee, consisting of

” two consultants; council Tepresen-
‘tative Coun. Diana Hutchinson and
* former school board chairman
~ Peter, Bradshaw, met about seven
_times’ in December, viewing the
site and listening to input from
local residents. :

: With safety and traffic as some

"of their priorities, the committee
came up with several recommenda-

‘tiong (hat council approved, subject»
to subsequent West Vancouver-

Schivol District 45 Board approval.
"Council: members and new
; school board. chairman Jean
‘Ferguson congratulated cach other
ania new era’ of cooperation
between themselves and the ncigh-
» bothood as ‘they continue to sort
‘youl: the. introduction of the school
‘into the Caulfeild area.
_ "We intend to be t Tongtime Tes-
“ident of the area and we hope to be
“good neighbors,” Ferguson said.
‘Although residents said they
appreciated, having input into the
plinning process, same continued

teachers’ parking lot from the back
€west) end of the school, which will
have access from Headland Drive.
Headland resident) Arthur
Edgson said he wis not convinced
that the lot needed to be there for

_-Stcurity reasons,

Residents would prefer to see
school staff use an areca to the
north. which would probably not be
needed for an adjacent proposed
new recreation centre until about
1997,

Although the committee took
the recreation centre ase an
“assumption” in its discussions,
Edgson said the possibility this the
centre might not be built at all
meant that some of the land was
being cleared needlessly.

“Until the municipality commits
to the recreation centre. why cut the
trees down?” asked Victor Durman
of the Caulfeild Ratepayers.

For various reasons, including
consultants’ advice, he committee
rensained committed to the location
of the teachers’ parking lot, which
also provides a rear entrance to the
school.

Although the lot will be clase to
existing homes. Coun. Hutchinson
noted that it has been reduced in
size (from 72 to 65 spots) and
moved further into the site.

“We're trying to focus on the
from Caulfeild, not
Headland,” she said.

Concerns about the intersection
on Caulfeild would be addressed at
an carly date, she added,

One of the issues to be looked at
dn the new year is the residents’

desire for landscaping and buffer- !
ing between the school site and the :

neighborhood.

Although the school board is:
“committed to providing this buffer,
tts abitity to fulfil the residents’

expecttions might be hampered by
restrictions in its $14 million bud:
get forthe school,

“It probably won't be enough 2.

but we have no ability to caise taxes’

or raise the amount..." said: chair
man Ferguson,
Landscape buffering will be

‘done.to the satisfaction of parks

and recreation director Kevin Pike,
“Tecan see a committee coming
