NORTH VANCOUVER
CITY COUNCIL
By Bob Mackin

Graham MacLean, of MacLean

_ Management, told a Sept. 18 public

meeting at city hall that an amended

street closure plan won't work, and

neither would. a redesign of his

planned development in the 100-
block of East 8th Sucet.

The. proposal calls for a traffic —

island bounded by East 8th and East
10th Streets, and St.. Georges
_Avenue to be connected with land on
East 8th Street and, Victoria Park
_ Aveaue East. Traffic would be per-
“manently re-routed ‘along East 10th
Street. Green space on the traffic
s island .would be extended to the
property . being’. developed | by
Maclean. ‘
MacLean would. maintain the

property ‘on behalf of the city, but

won't have tide. Instead be will get
an increased ‘density for the building
complex. «Pending council's “deci-
‘sion, he plins to exercise the option

to purchase some of the land.’

City land. department. manager.’

Margaret McFadyen said the ‘city
expects to-net $1. million from: the
deal. Proceeds are earmarked et the

construction of the new RCMP:

headquarters.

Lou D*‘Angelo, whose: father :
Cesare owns ‘property at |166-Bast
10th St. und 272 East 9th'St., spoke

against the roud closure.
“I'm not against development,
I'm not agzinst progress,” Db’ Angelo

said. “But this has flaws in the plan;

that i really felt | had to bring to peo-
ple’s attention.”

D'Angelo proposed three solu-
tions: scale down the-‘development

and leave the roads alone; block off.

10th Street for future redevelopment
of the north side: or build a small
high-rise, which would: require less
land.

Maclean said a high-rise would

not be feasible, “The higher it- goes

the worse (the cost) gets.”
ont Mah, whose father Bill owns

Harold’s Market at 179 East Sth Si. :

spoke in support of the proposal.
“(fly parents) have operated | the
ss of a grocery store for 25
years and practically are nearing the
end of their careers,”. Mah . said.
“This ‘proposed road closure and

redevelopment would allow them to:

retire.” Council asked staff to report

by Ost? L6-with undated traffic data
