Bridge users
to be asked
their opinion
NORTH Vancouver
Chamber of
Commerce volunteers
will be out in force at

Lions Gate Bridge on
Wednesday morning.

They'll be asking morn-
ing rush-hour motorists this
question: “Are you in favor
or not in favor of having tolls
on the future Lions Gate
Bridge?” .
‘.. The provincial govern-
ment asked the same ques-
tion in a survey conducted in
September. In 762 inter-
views, 49.4% favored tolls,
35% were not in favor of tolls
and 15.6%" didn’t: know or
refused to - respond.
According to. chamber chaiz-
maa _ Doug Smith of the 762
-. interviews conducted, just
39. of the respondents were

from the North Shore, 144
were from Vancouver and
the rest from elsewhere.

Said Smith, “We feel that
it is important to know how
our own residents and busi-
nesses feel about tolls and
pass that information on to
the government.

“We will be asking exactly
the same question of exactly
the same number of respon-
dents so our results will
clearly be useful to the min-
ister.

“We believe the govern-
ment has not gone far
enough in finding out what
the public wants on this issue
and’ decisions based’ on a
province-wide omnibus sur-
vey just don’t make sense,”
he added. _

Members of the cham-
ber’s Transportation Task
Force will be handing out
postage-paid post cards at
the entrances to Lions Gate
Bridge starting at 7:45 a.m.
on Noy. 12. The results of

. the survey will be released as

soon as 762 bridge users
have responded.
