Residents defend waterfront,

By AMANDA KING

Waterfront development
and tree-cutting were the
primary concerns of some
190 West
residents Monday night at
the second public hearing on
the municipality’s draft
community plan.

Some 20 members of the
audience in West Van
Secondary School took it in
turns to voice their opinions
on a number of proposals in
the draft plan, with the
future of the waterfront
receiving the most attention.

Bette Williams said the
Ambleside Waterfront
Ratepayers’ Association was
“opposed to any commercial
development.”

Vancoaver,

land acquisition policy (for
properties between 14th and
18th Streets) is not fair to the
citizens who were told it
would be dedicated to
parkland,” she declared.

The association didn’t
want to see more “highrises
which have turned Am-
bleside from a seaside village

to a city”. And, she added, |

the group is opposed to a
proposed hotel and lounge at
the former works yard on the
Capilano River.

“We find complaints of
traffic at Marine Drive and
Taylor Drive hard to believe
if that sort of development
is being proposed,” Mrs.
Williams charged.

Derrick Hawkins of the

14th St. should be
“specifically water-
oriented”.

“Industry or extensive

commercial should be out,”
he said.

Several residents
criticized ‘a proposed
mandatory tree-cutting by-
law.

“We need a tree by-law
not to cut trees down
because they’re interfering
with somcone’s view, but to
protect them,” said Arthur
