10 — Sunday, February 18, 1996 — North Shore News

NEXT TO the majestic lions guarding the entrance to the
North Shore, the lights that enlace the Lions Gate Bridge are
its.most dramatic feature. This week marks the 10th anniver-
sary of the lights, lit up for Expo 86 celebrations, Purists said
the lights detracted from the natural beauty of the skyline, and
one disgruntled West Van resident called them a “garish mon-
strosity” and an “affront to good taste.” But most welcomed
the bright idea. The lights provide a glistening pathway to the
North Shore, welcome cruise ships into the harbor and rank us
among major cities such as San Francisco and New York. With
the future of the 1938 Jandmark. still uncertain, who knows
whether the lights will be shining in another 10 years’ time.
