A7 - Sunday, August 22, 1982 - North Shore News

Dear Editor:

In the August | edition of
the News, a letter was
printed that 1 feel mis-
represented the situation re-

garding the proposed
changes to Ridgewood
Drive. .

Comments made regar-
ding finishing up with
exactly the same road, no
consideration. of the
“majority” and giving in to
nonviable objections are

exaggerations, if not directly
contrary to fact and insulting
to those who worked
diligently on the affair.

More specifically, con-
cern cover movement of
shrubs was hardly the sole

. objection to the 38’ road.

Some major concerns were
the possible increase in
traffic, possible drops in
property values, use of
limited parking by non-
residents for “park and ride”

‘ine example of cooperation

purposes and the use of
scarce money on extensions
that many people agreed
would be excessive.

Several meetings between
residents and Council were
held where expression and
consideration of many points
of view occurred. This
resulted in acceptance of a
proposal that is, in fact, a

LGH suit will save money

Dear Editor:

There have been a number
of letters printed of late
bemoaning the “small
mindedness” of those
hospital members who think
abortion, as currently
performed at L.G.H., is
flagrantly illegal. The
complaints centre on cost at
this time of tight money.

Perhaps a few salient
points might be brought out
here:

(1) The hospital currently
spends over $70,000 for its

election circus.

(2) This annual ex-
travaganza takes place
because the law governing
abortion has never been
clarified (resulting in
polarization of the com-
munity with contending
groups attempting to in-
fluence the character of
their local hospital board).

(3) The current legal
action seeks to clarify the
law and will eliminate the
need for expensive meetings
of the type we've seen over

Fruit signs are a mess

Dear Editor:

Now that the fruit seller on
Riverside Drive has
graduated from an 8 ft. table
to a brand new store, do you
think he could now remove
the junky looking signs that

festoon the highway? They
look a mess. Perhaps this is a
project the Hazard Alert
Committee could get their
teeth into.

The savings in dollars (and

lives) to the citizens of North
and West Vancouver —
directly attributable to this
action — will be tremendous
and deserves our overdue
applause.

they did in this case, not

censure, three cheers are in
order for a fine example of
