TRAFFIC, LITTER, CHARACTER CONSIDERED

WV Council turns down Me

THOUGH PROMOTED as a2 way
of relieving traffic and parking
congestion in the area, the propos-
ed drive-thru facility for the
McDonald’s Restaurant at 1455
Marine Drive has been deemed
unacceptable for West Vancouver.

“1 don’t think West Van-

couverites are into drive-in restau-
rants,"* said Ald. Andy Danyliu at

the Monday meeting of West Van-
couver District Council.

More likely clients would be the
people who do the renovation
work in the homes of West Van-
couverites, Danyliu suggested.

He said he thought the number
of cars (71 per hour in one case, 93
per hour iu another) that other
McDonald's drive-thru facilities
accommodate in the Lower
Mainland was frightening.

“Do we want 71 or 93 cars an
hour thrown out into Clyde

And yet it was this capacity that
local McDonald’s owner/operator
Malcolm Kerr maintained would
help solve the ongoing congestion
and limited parking in the area.

To alleviate concerns that the
scheme went agains: the ‘‘village’’
character being of Ambleside, Kerr
said the drive-thru building would
have an attractive tudor type
design that would be com-
plemented by landscaping and new
lighting.

Kerr also maintained that the
McDonald’s would become a
quieter area, with less slamming of
doors and ignition noises.

Speedbumps and a_ controlled
pedestrian access were suggested
as ways of alleviating concerns
from the fire and police depart-
ment that the drive-thru area
would prove dangerous to people
on foot — particularly children.

The restaurant provides plenty
of litter barrels and picks up trash
within a one block radius, but Ald.

onald’s drive-thru

Rod Day was concerned that
drive-thru traffic would lead to a
further litter problem.

‘‘What’s to stop the drivers
from throwing all their paper
goods in the streets. You can't
chase them down to 22nd,"" com-
mented Day.

Ald. Sager failed to obtain a
seconder for his motion to refer
the matter to the General Services
Committee, after which council
voted against approval of the
drive-thru scheme.
