Northlands fate
should go to vote

Dear Editor:

{appears that our right to vote
On matters which directly affect us
is being circumvented to. satisfy
the desire of a highly vocal special
interest group for a golf course in
the Northlands area east of the
Seymour River.

Those of us fiving in the vicinity
of Mt. Seymour Speedway are
now faced with the destruction of
an area once intended for mixed
housing as a core community.

Traffic associated with residen-
tial development is quite different
from traffic headed for recre-
ational activity.

If the area is used for housing
and community activities, public
transit would serve; but who
heads off to the golf course by
public bus?

The bylaw amendments
published in the North Shore
News of April 7 do not mention
financing. Why not?

Well-designed
course much
more appealing

Dear Editor:

Planner Kai Kreuchen needs to
wake up.

There are ‘model neighbor-
hoods’ ail over the North Shore
and what do they bring? Monster
‘houses which are ugly and a waste
‘of dwindling resources, over-
‘crowded schools, traffic conges-
tion with attendant pollution, and
youth crinie because recreational
opportunities are lacking and/or
too expensive.

We don’t need a Kreuchen-
designed model neighborhood in
Northlands.

If Kreuchen visited Cates Park
on a. Wednesday afternoon in
August he might find a few people
‘exercising their dogs, but if he
visited Langara Golf Course he
would find it packed with golfers,
many of them retirees whom
Coun. Harris, in her opposition to
the Northlands Development,
branded ‘‘elite.”’

Kreuchen would also find jog-
gers and walkers on the peripheral
trails at Langara to prove that a
well-designed golf course with
hiking and cycling trails is very
well used. indeed and much more
appealing than a housing devel-
opment.

Thank goodness Kreuchen is an
esx-district planner.

Last tall, a varicty of schemes
was put forward,

In my opinion, there is no way
a golf course should be publicly
financed for this location, and
once it is a golf course it is not
available to the community for
any other purpose; in other
words, we're losing public-use
open space.

Range lands should be publicized.

We taxpayers are entitled at the
very least to vote directly on this
proposal, and with full. informa-
tion about financing.

We are entitled to see the in-
formation published in detail,
rather than our having to go up to
“review” the “relevant material’
at the municipal hall or annex.

This is too important a change
for it to be made by mayor and
six aldermen.
