North Vancouver City
council came out four
square Monday against the
control of funds for North
Shore road construction: by
Vancouver
Regional District and
decided, instead, to attempt
to coordinate a regional

‘roads program with North
Vancouver

and West
Vancouver Districts.

The matter had arisen the
previous week, when
council received a report
from City Engineer Tom
Scott on the GVRD's
Regional Roads Policy and

Program. Scott pointed out
at that time that the GVRD
plan ignored the proposed

and other routes mentioned
in the North Shore Tran-

Council members agreed

that the GVRD proposals

were sound for Vancouver, -
