morial grove at Capliano View Cemetery, where both her parents

Electric field levels to be measured

NORTH VANCOUVER Ci-
ty Council voted Monday
night to ask B.C. Hydro to
measure electrical field levels
surrounding a North Shore
transit site.

The Third St. and St. David's
Avenue site is scheduled for
closure April 1 of next year accor-
ding to a B.C. Transit official, and
the site may then be open for resi-
dential use if Transit applies for
single-family zoning through the
city,

But the unknown effects of elec-
trical fields on human health have
caused the city to investigate any
possible negative impacts, accor-
ding to a report issued by city
social planner Jill Davidson.

The report says there is little
scientific data on the effects of
electromagnetic radiation, but
suggests comparing site radiation
with measurements in residential
homes away from the site.
