A new agreement may be in the offing to jumpstart
the stalled Dollarton Highway realignment project.

Construction on the $7.5-miflion realignment has been ac a standstill while
the District of North Vancouver awaits the outcome of talks between CanOxy
and Imperial Oil. At issue is an Imperial OiJ-owned tract of Jand on Dollarton
and Amherst Avenue currently undergoing an environmental remediation
process. A gas station was located on the site until it was closed about five years
ago.

5 Imperial O21 and CanOxy — a subsidiary company of Canadian Occidental
Petroleum Led. — are currently in talks regarding the transfer of the site.
Canadian Occidental has agreed. to provide Imperial Oil with space to build a
new service station on its lands south of Dollarton in exchange tor the old site.

However, that site must first be cleaned up before Canadian Occidental will
permit Imperial to break ground on the new station.

False alarm

JIMMY Watt, Deep Cove lifeboat coxswain, with colleague Stewart Buchanan at left, hoids distress
flares used to alert marine rescue services to trouble on the water. The flares have been sent up
several times recently in non-emergency situations, causing unnecessary expense and work for .
rescue crews. Watt asks that boaters follow Coast Guard guidelines on the use of flares.
