W. Van will
study GVRD
park proposal

IT WAS double feature night at West Vancouver
municipal hall Monday as representatives from the
Greater Vancouver Regional District Park Com-
mittee screened a film and slide show in an effort to
gather support for their five-year park development

plan and budget.

Hal Weinberg, chairman
of the Park Committee, also
sought concil’s ‘‘approval in
principle’’ for the proposed
9,000 hectare Lynn-Semour
park and recreation § area
north-east of the Capilano
River, on the contingency
that all local problems would
be solved prior to any deci-
sions being made. The
ramifications of the proposal
are currently under study.

The slide presentation
detailed portions af land to
be included in the regional
park and it was noted that the
cost of access and drainage
would likely inhibit any
future major development in
the area, therefore making it
a good park site.

“It dwarfs anything we
have,’’ said Rick Hankin,
manager of the Parks
Department. He added that
while the Seymour area holds
many recreational
possibilinies such as camping
and canoeing and already has
an access road to the

By LOUISE TURNER

Seymour Falls Dam, _ the
Lynn Valley half of the pro-
posal ‘‘can only be seen as a
hike and wilderness park’’ as
many areas of it pose poten-
tial hazards.

Nominal improvements are
also slated for the Capilano
Regional Park such as trail
upgrading and the construc-
tion of a service building, and
$160,000 has been allocated
for Capilano tn the five-year
budget.

Pointing to park financing
difficulties, Weinberg noted
that the GVRD now supports
all 16 of the existing regional
parks on a $2.40 per capita
allowance drawn trom
municipal tax revenue and
some government funding
that has increased) only
minimaily since 1980

The GVRD_ preposal in-
cludes a request ot all
ere municipalities to

se their parks allocated

taxes by $1, to a total of

$3.40 per person annually.
This increase would result in
about $6.5 million by the end
of 1989.

Alderman Doreen
Blackburn asked Weinberg
how high he felt the risk was
in opening up the new park as
far as possible damage to as
yet untouched land was
concerned.

Weinberg noted that the
risk issue was of major con-
cern and said there would be
considerable amount of work
put into any upcoming plan
to retain wilderness
characteristics.

‘“‘We are just getting
started on the study,’’ he said
forecasting its completion by
1986 or 1987.

Ald. Gordon Rowntree
received council’s endorse-
ment for a recommendation
to have the West Van Parks
and Recreation Commission
review the proposal.
