GARDEN AVENUE sesident Dalia Gottlieb-Tanaka records the licence

eting violators Tuesday.

“There was a mix up in our
understanding of how long the
signs had been up,’’ said North
Vancouver RCMP Cst. Freethy.
“We understood the signs had
been up for a while. We usually
give a grace period. Right now
we're just warcing motorists, but
we'll be ticketing shortly,’* he said.

OVER TWO hundred local,
regional and international
businesses are gearing up to meet,
mingle and make money at the up-
coming third incarnation of the
popular Business After Business
series.

Hosted by the North Vancouver
Chamber of Commerce and co-
sponsored this time around by the
International Plaza Hotel and B.C.
Tel, the informal business get
together is slated for Mon. Sept. 8,
from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Interna-
tional Plaza Hotel Ball Room.

“The series is just building all
the time. We have more North
Shore companies than ever taking
part this time around,’’ said
Business After Business coor-
dinator Fyfe Brown from F.
Brown & Associates.

Although pre-registration closed
Aug. 28, Brown says anyone inter-

ested in taking part can register at

The third instalation of
Business After Business will in-
clude a strengthened international
showing, including representatives
from North Shore companies deal-
ing outside the country, such as
port, shipbuilding and rail facili-
ties.

Brown says a spin-off effect of
international interest generated by
Expo will be strong representation
at the meeting of international
companies with world branches
who are interested in looking at the
North Shore.

“It's been a lot of fun coor-
dinating this, watching and work-
ing on seeing a strengthened at-
mosphere of communication
within the business community
through networking,”’ said Brown.

is to allow a period of grace before
stringent enforcement. ‘‘It’s usual-
ly a week to 10 days. The RCMP
give violators warnings. There was
a mix up this time and I believe the
RCMP were issuing tickets,”’ said
McBride.

Life hasn’t changed much for
Garden Avenue resident Mineo
Tanaka since the signs went up
Monday.

“We haven't noticed much of a
decrease in traffic. Hopefully with
more police enforcement, fewer
people will short cut through
Garden,”’ said Tanaka.

The new regulations restrict
traffic through Garden Avenue
from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. seven days a
week.

A traffic study, addressing the
traffic overload at Capilano and
Marine, commissioned by North
Vancouver District, is slated for
Teturn to council mid-October.

But says McBride: *‘The signs
are up and will stay up. We'll
know more when the report makes
its recommendations."*
