the area north of McNair
Drive full of pot smoking,
urinating, undressing, littcr-
ing bikers and party goers.

Residents complained
Monday to council that the
increased weekend traffic is a
safety concern for their chil-
dren.

Some suggested the
mountain bikers should park
their vehictes in Lynn Valley
Mall and peda! up the steep
hill.

Some wanted three park-

BRAVING the summer rain, Const. Deanna Brodrick of the North Van RCMP detachment leads a group of
Mounties through city streets Monday as part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for the BC Special Olympics.

Bikers bother Lynn Valley residents

ing permits per household to
banish the “por-smoking,
urinating bikers” drawn to
the Lynn Valley neighbour-
hood.

Said Coun. vor
Carolan,“I don’t think we
can put up with those kind of
complaints - people urinat-
ing, undressing and dressing,
bur I don’t want to send a
Negative message to the
mountain bike community
either.”

The portion of Mountain
Highway above McNair is 36
feet wide (11 m) and con-

tains only 40 parking spots
Under the trial agreem
20 of those will be for the
public and 20 for residents.
Council decided:
® to keep the gate near
Borthwick Road closed;
provide for a park ranger
to monitor parking, traffic
and social behaviour on
Mountain Highway;
@ to install a second garbage
container at the north end of
the highway.
Funds of up to $21,000
were approved to facilitate
these changes.

Ken Maude, one the
North Shore's hard-core
mountain bikers didn’t think
the trial plan would adversely
affect his biking.

“I don’t think the plan is
a bad thing.

“It’s kind of bummer, but
we want to work with these
people,” Maude said.

District staff will be
reviewing the situation over
the next six weeks and
reporting back to council on
Aug. 9.
