8 - Sunday, February 5, 1989 - North Shore News DEEP COVE AREA Residents split over improvements A CONTROVERSIAL bylaw authorizing funds for a local improvement jnitia- tive in Deep Cove received third reading Monday night at North Vancouver District Council. By MARTIN MILLERCHIP Contributing Writer Subject to adoption, $1,630,000 will be spent on storm sewers, pav- ing, curbing and road-side parking bays on Strathcona Road between Harris Avenue and Roxbury Road and north on Roxbury to the ex- isting paved and curbed section. A local improvement initiative allows for a proportion of the total cost of works undertaken to be charged against lots benefiting from or abutting on the works, and $121,036 will be recovered from owners of affected properties by means of an annual frontage tax over a 10-year period.

The Jan. i2 meeting attracted approximately 40 residents, many of whom expressed concern about either parking cr traffic speed and public safety. In a report to council after the meeting, John M«cl.ean, district supervisor of enginecring design, pointed out that the road will re- main at approximately the same announced she was trying to orga- nize, in conjunction with engincer- ing staff, for Feb. 14.

Craig Clark acknowledged residential opposition to the initia- tive and urged council to defer ac- tion on the bylaw. “There’s still certainly a great deal of resistance to the methods and design of that work,’’ Clark said. ‘‘From what I’m given to understand the past meetings did not result in any changes to the plan that was originally propos- ABORTION VICTIM Diane Bialkowski_ ex- perienced years of des- pondency and psychiatric treatment following her abortion. “I was only four- Ald. Murray Dykeman said the bylaw could proceed independently of any discussions such as the location of the parking bays. “The approval of the bylaw is teally just an enabling procedure to allow us to carry on,’ Dykeman said. “The difficulties now are | teen.
