NORTH VANCOUVER
DISTRICT COUNCIL

Resident
pushes for
special
crosswalk
signals

THE CONTINUING ef-
forts of one Lynn Valley
resident may result in the
installation of special
crosswalk signals at the
junction of Lynn Valley
Road and Mollie Nye Way.

By Martin Millerchip

Norm Duplissie has been col-
lecting petition signatures and
lobbying North Vancouver District
Council for the last four months
in an atfempt to prevent an acci-
dent at an intersection that he says
is unsafe for pedestrians.

As Duplissie told the district’s
standing committee on operational
services on Monday night, ‘‘I’m
not prepared to sit down on this
issue.”

The district's traffic and safety
committee: has considered the
matter at least twice, and in
response to a 444-name petition
collected by Duplissie it conducted
a survey of pedestrian peak-hour
usage of the intersection.

The committee, however, found
that the intersection had:

e@ Jow crossing figures (cight in
the peak hour);

@ an excellent vehicle accident
record (no reported accident from
1988 to 1991);

@ satisfactory driver visibility;

@ an existing pedestrian traffic
signal one block away.

The committee recommended,
therefore, that no traffic light be
installed at Mollie Nye Way.

schools.

But Duplissie maintained that
pedestrian use of the intersection
would increase during the summer
holidays when children visit the
Karen Magnussen wave pool and
that pedestrians would probably
not walk an extra two blocks to
use the existing light.

Council's operational standing
committee reversed the traffie and

safety committee recommendation
and passed a motion on May 4
that council should approve the
traffic light installation.

At the May 11 council meeting,
staff asked for a deferral, inform-
ing council that the cost of traffic
signals could be up to $50,000 and
that an enginecring study to syn-
