The earliest version called for
withdrawing city advertising from

clear the motion wouldn’t pass
with that provision, Bell withdrew
it.

The city spends $32,000 a year
advertising in the paper, said Bell.

DUNDARAVE REVITALIZATION

Party ushers in new era

LAST FRIDAY’S Dundarave Family Hoe Down may have
celebrated the end of revitalization construction, but it also
signified the beginning of a new look and new attitude in
the one block commercial area.

Dundarave recently received a
$20,000 renewable facade im-
provement grant froin Rita
Johnston, provincial minister of
Municipal Affairs, and plans are
now underway to form a ‘‘business
improvement area’’ for the
development of promotional activ-
ities.

“The idea is to keep revitaliza-
tion going — keep it alive,’ Bob
Heaslip of the West Vancouver
District Planning Department said
Monday.

A petition will be circulated
among Dundarave merchants for
the creation of the bylaw for the
business improvement area. The
merchants will be assessed for their
contributions to a kitty, which will
be managed by the municipality on
their behalf.

‘“‘The same people who
spearheaded revitalization will be
likely to want to continue with
this,’’ said Heaslip,

Horseshoe Bay did not create a
business improvement area follow-
ing its revitalization, and Heaslip
foresees difficulty in forming one
in a revitalization area as large as
Ambleside.

“In order to successfully com-
pete against the malls, the area has
to have an identity — Dundarave
has that,’’ said Heaslip.

Similar programs in Ontario and
the U.S. have proved highly suc-
cessful, according to Heaslip.

The $20,000 facade improve-
ment grant is available on a for-
mula basis to merchants who
undertake their own revitalization
work. Interested business owners
must take before and after pictures
and undertake the renovations
themselves. They can then apply

for a grant covering a percentage
of the cost.

Capers, Stongs and the Capilano
West Restaurant are some of the
businesses planning facade im-
provements that could fall under
the grant category.

There is no particular theme that
must be adhered to in Dundarave,
but improvements must follow cer-
tain guidelines that were set up
with the revitalization program,

“We're looking at in-
dividualism, but with common
elements,’’ said Heaslip.

An interesting future develop-
ment in Dundarave is a two-storey
commercial complex being planned
for the north-east corner of 25th
Street and Marine Drive. The
rezoning should be coming for-
ward in Septenber with a public
hearing planned, most likely, for
October.

The building will offer extra
parking in the back, as well as
rear-facing retail outlets.
