Allen‘also questioned the
financial information con-
tained in the original report.

“Our analysis,” he wrote,
“suggests the “dead-heading’
costs. (the cost of running: ©

estimated.” TS

The extra cost of -

members of West Van-

more than offsets the
estimated $400,000 dif-
ference in price between the
proposal favored by North
Vancouver and the satellite
option being backed in West
Van.

West Vancouver council
backed its motion to support
the proposal for a separate
Blue Bus facility — with
satellite centres in Dollarton
and on the ICBC property in
North Vancouver to serve
the other two major traffic
corridors in the arca — with
the suggestion that it will
protect Kiahanie Park.

There is sufficient: room
on the land that was used by
the motcl — now owned by
the ministry of highways —
for present and future necds,
they said.

In the resolution passcd by
council, it says the park sitc
is not intended as a site for a
bus depot use now or in the
future.
