NORTH VANCOUVER
DISTRICT COUNCIL

Creek park
decision
deferred

AFTER 40° concerned residents
waited two hours to hear the fate
of 9 proposed tot park near Mos-
quito Creek, many of them
groaned loudly Monday when
North Vancouver District Council
deferred the decision to another
Meeting.

The proposed 10-metre square
children’s play area slated for a
small clearing just off the pith: to
Mosquito Creek Bridge drew op-
posing delegations at the March
25 council meeting.

Park opponents said the area is
wild park and the proposed
children’s play area would be un-
safe because it would be close to
the creek.

But people who supported the
tot park, initially estimated to cost
$15,000. said it is needed for
children in the area and it will
help unite the community.

During Monday’s meeting, Ald.
Paul Turner asked Mayor Murray
Dykemaa to ‘‘bend the rules’’ and
Jet the unhappy residents ask
questions, but the mayor said they
had dealt with the matter and
apologized to the group.

Ald. Joan Gadsby said she was
prepared to make a decision
without the reports.

“We have a number of people
sitting here for a number of
hours,”’ she said.

And Ald. Rick Buchols asked if
a set time could be arranged so in
the future the group didn’t ‘‘have
to sit through (council pro-
ceedings) for three hours.”’

Council] members are waiting
for reports from the RCMP con-
cerning crime in the area and a
staff report from the district’s
social pianner.

think it inappropriate for West
Vancouver District Council to
waive the requirement for a
public meeting concerning any
rezoning or development
variance applications without
making an actual resolution to
that effect.
