Dempsey

connector praised

Dear Editor:

The recent letter from the North
Lonsdale Ratepayers’ Association
regarding the Braemar-Dempscy
connector was most amusing. A
trifle shrill but quite predictable.

Listening to their side of the
story one might think that the Up-
per Levels Highway is about to be
rerouted up Mountain Highway
across the new connector and then
down Lonsdale or, in their worst
case scenario, carrying on to Mon-
froyal and then down Capilano
Road. Why it could almost be
thought of as the ultimate Lons-
dale and Westview ‘‘overpass,’’ or
so they might have your readers
believe.

But why let our imagination stop
there? Why not continue the myth
westward, across the Capilano
River and on through the British
Properties? Can you see it now?
Hoards of ‘‘Lynn Valley Lunch-
buckets"’ driving primer’d pickups
with over-sized tires and Harley
Davidsons, devastating the night
and day with their din! And worse
Dear, as some might fear, long
captive in the Valley, they might
creep up the hill clawing and clut-
ching, pillaging and plundering,
ransacking and raping... Raping?!
Raping who? Why Seymour of
course, (couldn’t forget them now
could we?) who do you think is go-
ing to pay for all of this?

While most will find humor in
this approach a few will actually
believe it as truth. That is sad,
because the -North Varicouver
District Council has done its
homework. Twenty years worth of
planning has gone into their deci-

sion to finally build the
Braemar-Dempsey connector and
it is the right decision.

Generating almost $20 million in
land sales the accompanying
development will help pay for
needed recreational facilities in
Seymour and in many other parts
of the district. ‘‘Robbing Peter to
ruin Paul’s neighborhood" is the
only way to describe what would
happen if this Tempe Heights-sized
development planned on the side
of Mount Fromme did NOT have
access to the nearest commercial
and recreational amenities in Lynn
Valley.

The Boundary Community
Association and the Lynn Valley
Community Association have both
strongly endorsed council’s deci-
Sion to build the Braemar-Demp-
sey connector. I agree and I believe
that when they are old enough so
will my children. Keep up the good
work.
