Changes urged for Maplewood development

THE PRESIDENT of the
Wild Bird Trust of British
Columbia has charged that
plans for the new Maplewood
Business Park will be of little
use to wildlife in the area.
Richard Beard appeared before
North Vancouver District Council
Sept. 26 to urge council to consid-
er modifications to the plans for a
business park which will sit
between Riverside Drive and the
Canadian International College on
the re-aligned Dollarton Highway.
Beard said environmental con-

cerns relating to the site and sur-
rounding habitat have not been
dealt with by the guidelines pro-
posed by MTR Consultants Ltd.
for North Vancouver District.

“The object of this study was to
provide guidelines for a business
park that would, among other con-
siderations, be environmentally
sensitive.

“It describes a site covering 22
hectares (55 acres) of which eight
hectares (20 acres) would be pre-
served as natural areas,” said
Beard.

But he charged that most of the

Suspect caught

A WEST Vancouver woman living in the 2000-block of
Gordon Avenue awoke at 3 a.m. on Wednesday morning
to find’a ladder outside a bedroom window and a man
standing at the bottom of the ladder.

The suspect fled and was caught near Haywood
Avenue and 20th Street, according to West Vancouver
Police. Stephen Robert Hodges, 20, of West Vancouver,
wus charged with burglary and breaching probation.

- Exposer alert

THE NORTH Vancouver RCMP are investigating a
report of a man exposing himself on Oct. 2 at Wagg Park
in North Vancouver. A witness reported that the man
was zipping his fly up and down, according to a North
Vancouver RCMP spokesman. The suspect is described
as a Caucssian in his 30s, 1.75 m (510°) tall with a slim
build and brown hair.

Flouse fire

DISTRICT OF North Vancouver Fire Services was .
called out Friday, Sept. 30, at 1:41 a.m. to 2 fire at 4163
Citadel PI.

The structure was a new house which was under con-
struction.

By the time firefighters arrived, the roof and first
fleor of the house had collapsed. The house was not sal-
vageable, and damage is estimated at $280,000.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Canadian.

Weisgerber said immigrants
coming to B.C. should match the
needs of the economy and the work
force.

“Having said that, I recognize
the enormous contributions that
new Canadians have made to this

country over history, including cur-
rent history,” said Weisgerber.

Weisgerber said a four-candi-
date race speaks well about the
overall vitality of the party.

He said West Vancouver-
Garibaldi MLA David Mitchell has
talked about joining the party and is
welcome to join.

Mitcheil, a former Liberal and a
current independent MLA, said on
Friday that he had made no deci-
sion about party affiliation.

20 acres described in the consul-
tants’ report would be of little use
to wildlife.

Beard's concerns include a lack
of viable nesting areas for existing
bird species. wildlife migration
corridors that appear too narrow
and are cut off by Riverside Drive
and a water feature he describes as
“title more than a tame pond for
tame ducks.”

“Roads appear to occupy fully
20% of the site. This plan seems
to do everything it can to encour-
age private car use,” said Beard.
