Council approved preparation of an amending bylaw which would reduce the dump’s operating hours to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, while weekend hours would be limited for public’s use ot 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday. _—__. Sundays and bolidays Premier Street landfill would remain closed. Lost a bi ANY cyclists in West Vancouver. who may be lamenting the theft of their bikes might well find it worthwhile checking at the local police department. s In addition, council also passed a motion to set up a committee to investigate the implications of closing the dump on Sundays and during statutory holidays. However, not all council members bowed easily to the sweeping changes con- cerning operating hours at the landfill. : Alderman Marilyn Baker, although supporting both measures regulating dump activity, urged District's politicians to tread warily and examine other solutions to the noise problems before reducing the landfill’s hours. “I certainly support limiting and curtailing the (landfili’s) hours...” said Baker. “But I feel we should be looking at alternatives... we should do more ex- ploring.” “J don’t think the answer is straight closure of the dump on Sundays,” she added. Currently the landfill site is open seven days a week including holidays.

Alderman John Lakes remarked that it's “ab- solutgly incredible” District is considering closing the landfill to public use on Sundays since it's a demand period for gardeners and residents who work on Saturdays. “There are people who go to the landfill Sundays because they work on Saturday,” said Lakes. “What you're trying to do is deprive people of a right they've had for years.” Bremner, in a letter, to council explained noise complaints relate essentially to operating of heavy nrachinery in compacting and covering waste in the landfill. . He said the “only ef- fective” way to eliminate the din is to “reduce the hours of operation of the landfill since the equipment - must operate throughout”’ weekday and Saturday hours. fan?
