Points out to North Vancouver District Mayor Murray Dykeman
some of, what she claims, are the problems that have been

frustrating area merchants during

the district’s street

beautification project. Dykeman, meanwhile, looks at Good-
man's property tax bill which she tied to several helium
balloons. She has vowed not to pay her property taxes.

highways ministry and the Dollar-.

ton Highway project. He added
that a new commercia! complex
that houses Goodman's studio has
also been part of the problem
because it has been under con-
struction.

But Goodman said the building
she is in has now gone into
receivership; she said the road
construction wark is to blame.

Dykeman rejected the call for
Bremner’s resignation.

‘*The competence level of our
director of enginecring,”’ he said,
“is not in question.’

Dykeman said problems should
be expected during such a major
construction project. He added
that the only other alternative the

district, had was to close Gallant
Avenue.

“Yes there have been delays,
but some of those have been
beyond our control, they lie with
the highways ministry. It has aot
been an easy process. We tried to
adjust to loca! requests,’’
Dykeman said.

North Vancouver District. Ald.
Ernie Crist, who said he has
received numerous complaints
about the street beautification and
highway improvernent projects,
has requested a report from
district staff on the problems that
have arisen over the two projects.

Transportation and highways
ministry regional director Dave
Cunliffe could not be reached for
comment to press time Thursday.
