ost of Lions Gate should be shared Dear Editor: The $2 (Lions Gate Bridge) toll is really $4 because most of us who cross a bridge must crass it again to get back home. This can be as much as S48 9 month for people who cross daily. Although I feel the twin bridge concept is the most attractive, | do not believe the North Shore resi- dents should be the only toll paying commulers, Surrey and Delta residents have both the newish Alex Fraser cr ing and a new SkyTrain link paid for by all tax payers including North Shore residents: $56 million is going to be spent improving access to down for the Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge area residents, The only Coir system of tolling wauld be lo have all bridge and tunnel commuters pay atoll Tf all commuters paid just §.25 per cross- ing Fame sure it would add up to more than the proposed $2 on the Twin Lions Gate. [ wish to congratufale the Squamish Nation for their attractive bridge proposal, but suggest they find a more fair toll collection sy tem that does not penalize Lions Gate Bridge users, Richard Alexander West Vancouver What wailing in WV? Dear Editor: Re: Your coverage of the West Vancouver District Council's “Veterinarian hospitals to get zone look” and the sound of wailing cats and dogs. Despite the fact that we spent literally thousands of dollars on advanced soundproofing in a spe- cial ward for our patients to recov- er from ailments and injuric, and which virtually ensures no sound transmission;despite the fact that we've had no complaints about ‘sound or ‘smeil from the residents; despite the fact our patients rarely wail from their ailments and injuries; and despite the fact that we have since had numerous com- ments from our wonderful clients as to how quiet and odor-free our madern facility is, we would like to thank the residents of the build- ing for their continued use and suppost of our facility for their pet’s veterinary needs, May we all (people aad pets) continue to be blessed with, and live together within, a community as beautiful and friendly as West Vancouver. Dr. Joel Parker Animal Medical Hospital West Vancouver Double crossing too late Dear Editor: A bridge too far? The Squamish Nation has come very fale lo the bridge game and according to your editorial has played its cards well, The public process to select a tinal choice of crossings, as Hawed as itis at times, has been in place (or ayear, ever since the a POLICE “e. vctiong? previous highways minister announced the five-year time fine (which won't be met). Why is that after months of presentations and discussions on proposals a group can appear without notice and move to the frontof the line? Twin bridges to me makes no sense. © Comunanicate ©All All WILL PAINT eighton confiderse © Heigdt f If the Squamish proposal were one bridge, with sufficient lanes to accommodate both vehicle traf- fic and tourists, then it would be fair and worthy of consideration; the double crossing showld not be so considered, Jeremy Daliun, MLA West Vancouver-Capitano the essence of effective coniuniunication. effectively © never ne a alent Confidential ~ Personal one te one voice development ALL STEVE MELES TODAY 983-2048 (1-800-279-8898) oN We Also Do: Interior Painting © Fences (Stain or Paint) exterior Painting » Textured Ceilings ~<22 _ ANY THREE ROOMS! e Any Size Rooms!
