A PROPOSED three-month
traffic study has delayed final
decision by North Vancouver
District Council on whether
to proceed with the extension
of Montroyal Boulevard.

Ald. Stephen McMinn pro-
posed the study, saying that
until a comprehensive study
has been done on the exten-
sion area, he cannot make a
final decision on the matter.

Mayor Marilyn Baker
agreed, saying any decision

made on the Montroyal ex-
tension would affect the com-
munity for years to come.
She added it was necessary to
obtain data which analyzed
traffic patterns in the area.
McMinn’s resolution calls
for an independent study
which will look at such
aspects as the source and
destination of traffic using
the Madley-Norwood route;
the immediate and future im-
pact of the Montroyal exten-
sion; the immediate and
future impact on the area if
the Montroyal extension is
not undertaken; the impact if

the route is open through to
Lonsdale; and a study of
possible east-west routes. Ac-
cording to McMinn: ‘‘Traffic
usually takes the quickest,
not necessarily the shortest
routes.”’

The terms of reference on
the iSsue are expected to be
completed in three weeks,
with the traffic study pro-
jected for completion in three
months.

Ald. Craig Clark and Joan
Gadsby both opposed
McMinn’s resolution, on the
grounds they are against any
extension of Montroyal Blvd.

District administrator Dr.
Leo Marshal, although pleas-

_ ed with the results, criticized

the exam. process.

**The type of exam used
was a criterion referenced ex-
am,’’ Marshal said.

Marshal said that . these
kinds of exams were ‘‘fre-
quently vague and interpeted
differently teacher to
teacher.”’

He said the achievement
will vary depending on
populatién and called the
provincial government’s
marking process ‘‘not tightly
standardized.”

‘**Criteria used for school
marks and criteria for exams
might well differ,’’ Marshall
added.
