THE REDEVELOPMENT of
’ Lower Lonsdale as a heritage
“town centre moved one step
closer Feb. 12 when North
: Vancouver City Council voted
- to proceed with the first two
’ phases of the project.

NORTH VANCOUVER
CITY SOUNCIL
By Bob Mackin

Subdject to finalization of financ-
ing, the former Pacific Great
Eastern (PGE) railway station will
be returned from Mahon Park to its
former location at Lonsdale Quay
near the Seven Seas ficating restau-
rant’s parking.

The move could happen as early
as this spring. A vintage streetcar
being stored at Mahon Park may be
displayed nearby.

The North Vancouver Museum
and Archives will be responsible for
managing the building and its pro-
gramming. However, at least 40%
of programming time must be for
non-museum community use.

The first phase budget is estimat-
ed at $86,670, while phase two will
be slighdly larger at $90,000.

‘Phase three has been referred to
the finance committee and is the
most expensive at $250,000. It will
cost about $100,000 for the option-
al phase four, which involves the
streetcar relocation. ;

Additionally, the city will lose as
much as $50,000 a year in parking
Ttevenue since the current parking
plaza will be converted to pedestri-
an use.

Funding for various phases of
the project will come from the city’s
tax sale lands fund, BC Rail (PGE’s
successor), Kiwanis, and the
provincial government's BC 21
community infrastructure fund.

The Advisory Design Panel pre-
sents annual Awards of Excellence
for significant contributions to the
urban environment of North
Vancouver.

@ Parkgate Branch Library
“This project incorporates a
strong design statement which
serves as a focus for the Parkgate
neighborhood centre. The building
frames an interesting courtyard to
the west which integrates the
library with the shopping centre to
the south. The incorporation of
heavy timbered elements both on
the exterior and the interior and the
careful attention to detai! creates a
strong and exciting public build-
ing.”

“This project incorporates a
clean and practical design solu-
tion. The materials utilized are
appropriate to the futuristic design
of the building. The contrast
between the horizontal emphasis
of the office building with the ver-
tical aspect of the control tower
adds to the visual interest of the
project. The design and quality of
the building exceeds our expecta-
tions for buildings in an industria!

“This project involves a sensi-
tive handling of density despite a
difficult site. The project focuses on
the creation of an interior land-
scaped area as its central design ele-
ment. The buildings are arranged to
allow for the best possible use of
the available space. The project
consists of a mixture of housing
forms which relate well to the sur-
rounding uses and establishes a
comfortable human scale.”
