LANDMARK only took about 15 seconds when the dome of the old Stuart

_at-the Georgia Street entrance to Stanley Park was brought crashing to the

ground Friday. The. building, seen daily by the thousands of North Shore commuters

who drive over Lions Gate Bridge to downtown Vancouver, had stood since 1909 but
received the death penalty when the fire marshal ordered that it must either he
repaired or demolished. Protests by residential and business tenants of the building,

Vancouver's Marine Drive
“corridor area” is the subject
of a study being conducted
by North Van District
planning department, which

“District-City boundary,
taking in two blocks to the

the north.

Purpose of the study is to
determine general land use
and development policies for
the next five to 10 years.

It will concentrate on
commercial developments in
thé area, dealing with
questions of appropriate

land utilization, zoning,
density, parking and traffic.
The need for urban design
policies for the area will also
be emphasized.

The planning department
is inviting the opinions of

as well as by t the many West End locals who wanted the bulldinig saved as a heritage
site, were to no avail and the wreckers got underway last week. Friday the final stage
of demolition was carried out when the tower section which made the building so
recognizable finally bit the dust. Wreckers: wound a huge cable around the building,
hooked it to a Cat — and the Cat operator did the rest. (lan Smith photos) ;

systems installed,” said
Alderman John Humphries.
“Really, the building code
should insist on
systems.”

The fourth motion asks
the UBCM to seek a study on
a proposed fire fighters’
apprenticeship program and
delay the program until the
cost implications have been
realized.

. The program, endorsed by
the B.C. Fire Chiefs’
Association, would train 140
fire fighters annually at a
cost of $1.2 million. But the
cost will be charged back
directly to the municipali-
ties, and West Vancouver
for one is not sure if city
coffers can handle the
additional strain.

“I want to stress that this
motion does not imply any
opposition to the program,”
said Mayor Derek Hum-
phreys.

The UBCM convention
will be held Sept. 22 through
24 at the Hotel Vancouver.
