John

District . engineer
Bremner told counci! that
staff thought it had the light
fixed each day, but a new
problem arose after each
repair. Staff is presently ask-
ing the manufacturer for a

replacement. The unit is
worth approximately
$15,000.

But parents said this is on-
ly the. most recent break-
down. Since its installment
in 1982, it has broken down
a number of times.

DRIVER FRUSTRATION

While the light was fixed
temporarily by Friday,
Boundary School parents
still want the distict to im-
prove traffic flow in the
area.

The two signals aren’t ef-
fective even when the lights
are working, Zablotny said.
This causes driver frustation
and leads to further en-
dangerment of both schoo!
children and pedestrians.

The parents also wanted
council to work out a better
contingency plan for when
the traffic lights do go out.

After repeated attempts by
the school to have North
Vancouver RCMP control
the corner where the light
went out, the school board
hired a temporary crossing
guard.

District traffic supervisor
Norman Nikkel is scheduled
to meet with RCMP and the
school board this week to
iron out the best action plan.

Today, We’ve Seen
_ The Future...

That Bridge Before
We Come To It!

Economic growth and expansion in the lower mainland means thinking
ahead. And that’s what the Annacis Island Bridge is all about.

By planning and buiiding today, we're able to provide the lower mainland
with another corridor for growth and the development of new jobs. Today,
the Annacis Island Bridge is one of several government initiatives aimed
at expanding our economic potential. And, like Expo 86, Rapid Transit,
the Coquihalla Highway, the North East Coal Development, and a
provincial budget that provides job-creating businesses with a billion
dollars in tax cuts over three years, the Annacis Island Bridge is an
investment in our future.
