WV stop slash burning

An open letter to West Vancouver
Mayor, Council and residents :

Take a look up the mountain-
side from Marine Drive at 21st or
22nd to the nearly clearcut
Canterbury subdivision of British
Properties.

Those big stacks are slash piles
waiting until fall to be burned. In
Qciober £989, when stash was
burned in the Chelsea subdivision
above Chairlift Road, the air on
Marine Drive in Dundarave was
filled with smoke ali day and Jong
into the evening.

Our neighbor, North Vancouver
District, does not allow any
land-clearing fires, and requires
developers to chip all slash and

take it to the Riverside Drive
Transfer Site for composting.

Why should West Vancouver
residents and everyone else
downwind have to. breathe
polluted air so that developers can
make even more profit on half-
million dollar iots?

Is West Vancouver Council go-
ing to continue to allow residential
slash burning as the forest is cut
for the construction of the antici-
pated 4,000 new homes on the
mountainside? Or will councii
decide to contribute to the GVRD
Clean Air Strategy by banning
such burning in West Vancouver?

West Vancouver

Fill in Lynn Canyon pools

Dear Editor:

In the past few weeks we have
been bombarded in the North
Shore News by the recent deaths
in the Lynn Canyon poois and the
various solutions to the problem.

Recently North Vancouver

District Council endorsed
‘numerous safety measures in-
cluding more unsightly fences,
rangers, rescue teams and task
forces educating the public as to
the dangers, and so on, a typical
bureaucratic solution at great ex-
Pense to the taxpayers.

I personally see a very simple
solution: that is, eliminate the
source of temptation for our div-
ing youths.

For the cost of a few sticks of
dynamite we can blast a channel
for the water to escape from the
pool or just fill the pool in with
boulders.

Either one would eliminate the
source of danger, avoid future in-
cidents and the canyon would still
retain its natural setting.
