OPEN LETTER TO
DISTRICT OF NORTH VANCOUVER

This letter objects to the District of North Van-
couver’s plain to reduce parking on Prospect Road, so
as “to ensure a reasonible degree of salety in order to
reduce (the district's) exposure to liability."”

The problem, it seers, iy that the road is not wide
enough to facilitate the speeds that drivers find ae-
ceptable, without hitting parked vehicles or, bas
anyone mentioned, children or adulis or cars trying to
cross the sireet Tram above the rowd,

Why not cure one of the major problems — the
volume of traffic along Prospect Road’ Originally,
when Prospect Road was paved, there was no connec-
tion to Montroyal Boulevard via the “Beaver Road"
connection, and Prospect Read was a mice quiet street
with few problems.

The real solution, 1 suggest, is a proper traffic con-
nector from Capilano/Delbrook to Lonsdale, via the
Montroval connection that was anticipated when

Firefighters say thanks

Montroval was extended east of Delbrook. Montroyal
Boulevard east of Delbrook is nice and wide, has po
Hight corners and visibility problems, and no “tratfic
safety and parking’ problems.

} suggest that the quiet, non-complaining residents
of Prospect Road, and Newdale Court and Ventura
Crescent are having to suffer at the expense of good
sense at the district offices, and a very vocal Mon-
troyal Boulevard lobby.

Why can't the district solve the basic problem and
build a proper road systent connecting Montroyal to
Lonsdale, rather than take a low-cost band-aid: solu-
lion.

Do we have to have a battle af numbers -— com-
plaints by one group of homeowners, versus com-
plaints by another group of fomeowners, and heated
emotions and anger, fo encourage the district to be
sensible?
