A heliport or a fisherman's
wharf? The future of North
Vancouver’s Pemberton
streetend remains uncertain.

North Vancouver District
council asked for more
information on both project
proposals tabled at its
meeting last week.

Okanagan Helicopters
Ltd. is asking to use the site
as a heliport to service
emergency flights, recon-
naissance, tourism, business
and inter-city travel.

At the same time, J.K.W.
Engineering Ltd. on behalf
of Westlynn Marine Services
Ltd. wants to develop the
area as a fishermen’s wharf
aquatic village. Uses would
include a waterfront park,
boat launching, a seafood
restaurant, charter services.

warehousing.

The concept of a com-
prehensive development for
the site has been considered
since the early 1970s. An
earlier proposal for an
aquatic village lapsed at the
end of £979.

Several proposals for a
heliport on the North Shore
have also been made. A
request from the Coast
Mountain Air Rescue
Society for a land lease in
the upper Lynn Valley area
for the purpose is also before
council.

One concern about using
the Pemberton street-end for
a heliport is that it is too far
away from Lions Gate
Hospital. As well, the
company has been asked to
address the matter of a
public viewing area which

accident victims

West Vancouver firemen
had to extricate people from
cars twice on Thursday as a
result of accidents in the
Upper Levels Highway area.

The jaws-of-life equip-
ment was used Thursday
evening to remove the driver
of a Pinto involved in a head-
on collision with two other
vehicles after travelling west
in the ecast-bound lane near
Caulfeild Drive. The Surrey

driver received serious facial
and leg injuries.

Earlier that day the
firemen had removed three
Squamish people from a
Dodge Dart which over-
turned when it was rear-
ended by a 1977 Corvette
while waiting in the ferry
lincup at Horseshoe Bay.
None of the occupants was
seriously injured.

that proposed development

existing uses, such as
