Parking signs dupe North Shore ‘rubes’ )

Dear Editor:

Last week my car was
towed away by TRITOW
AUTO TOWING from. the
foot of Lonsdale at the
request of Seven Seas. 1 was
parked in a two hour parking
zone (I thought).

The two hour parking
Signs are poorly positioned,
thus misleading me. I felt my
car was legally parked in a

two hour zone. have
learned since then, that the
three rows east side Lon-
sdale are City parking, while
the three rows west side
Lonsdale are reserved for
marina parking.

This poor placement of
the two hour parking signs
cost me $28.00.

Further, when | phoned
TRITOW I = was quoted
$25.00 to release my car.

However, when I arrived at
the lot at 301 Seymour Blvd.
I was informed it would cost
me $28.00.

It makes me _ wonder
whether the strategic
position of these two hour
parking signs is nothing buta

sham to dupe us ribes of
$28.00.

In view of this expfrience,
City Council is requested to
remedy and _ clarify the

parking areas in question at
the foot of Lonsdale.

City parking signs should
‘be placed in positions so that
parking instructions are
explicitly understood.

Hopefully, this letter will
alert other North Shore
rubes and save them $28.00.

Don’t fence us out, in West Vancouver

Dear Editor:

I have been a resident of
West Vancouver for the last
16 years and have become
very aware of the in-
dadequate leadership which
our municipal heads
provide. They have a long
record of mistakes, par-
ticularly in the Parks
Department.

A classic example is the
current project involving the
fencing of Gleneagles Golf
Course. One of the reasons
people choose to live in
West Vancouver is_ the

ration for the installation of
a chain link fence, numerous
trees and shrubs bordering

the course have been
removed.
What purpose a_ fence

such as this might serve, is
unclear to me. Gleneagles
has mever had_= serious
problems with vandals, or
dogs and children respect
the boundaries very well.
Why then, do we the
residents have to face the

I urge all the residents of
