Lights out for North Van city cabs

ILLUMINATED cab signs are no longer com-
pulsory following a bylaw amendment by North

Vancouver City Council.

Sunshine Cabs president
Richard Hughes asked
council Monday to delete the
bylaw as it was proving
detrimental for passengers in
his fleet of luxury
limousines.

“T deal a lot with VIP en-
tourages, and on call trips

The
states that taxi cabs must
display an illuminated top
light when they are available
for hire. **But being flagged
down by customers is only a

municipality bylaw

door so they needn't spot a
cab."’

Similar top light  restric-
tions apply in West Van-
couver but not in the District

of North Vancouver.

Ald. Stella Jo Dean sug-
gested that the restriction
should be optional, rather
than be wiped out.

“Drivers can have the
freedom to choose cither
way,’’ Dean said.

Hughes plans to paint his
cabs white, he said, to avoid

confusion with another

North Vancouver rival taxi
firm with bright yellow vehi-
cles.
