RESIDENTS AT the

WeSsLCry

end of Victoria Park in

North Vancouver Cily are against the proposed closure of
a small connecting road between the park and West Eighth

Street.

'f the closure is approved, the
stretch of Victoria Park West
could be sold to a developer that
owns the lots on either side of the
road, which is just east of Ches-
terfield Avenue.

Nearby resident James Master-
ton asked North Vancouver City
Counci! on Monday night, ““What
benefit does this (closure) give to
the residents in the surrounding
area.

“} can see no reason advanced

by the staff report for the closure
of this road. 1 believe the only ra-
tionale is bigger is better.”

He said council would be in a
conflict of interest over the deci-
sion because it will be the ‘‘judge
and jury’’ on the proposal, which
would generate a $780,000 pay-
ment from the developer for the

road section.

Masterton added that the road
is an important pedestrian route

between a high-density residential

area and the civic centre.

tion.

He said he would be convinced
that the closure was worth doing
only after the benefits had been

clearly explained by city staff.

Two other residents also sub-
mitted letters to council opposing

the closure.

Council voted Monday night to

Masterton
said, would also force more traffic
to use the dangerous Keith Road
and Chesterfield Avenue intersec-

defer a decision on the
closure until after a Monday,
22, public hearing on the issue.

Approval of a “‘highways stop-
ping up and closing’ bylaw would
transfer the title to the stretch of
road from the Crown to the city,
which could then sell the property

if it wanted to.
