Property owner opposes Lonsda

OPEN LETTER TO NORTH
VANCOUVER CITY COUNCIL

This letter is written out of
grave concern for the proposed
Quay Tower to be built by Basa
Bros., which is presently in the
planning stages and, according to
information from the North Shore
News, has received tentative ap-
proval by council.

As an affected property owner
in this area, I am very much
against any construction of more
highrises in a neighborhood that
consists mostly of three to four-
storey frame buildings and family
homes.

I have invested in this con-
dominium property on Lonsdale
and Sth Street to be able to enjoy it

one day when the upkeep of my
house becomes a physical burden.
One of the reasons [ bought was
the view this apartment affords.

Once highrise breeds another.

Is council on the way to create
another West End on the North
Shore? Is council only concerned
to serve Big Business withvut
regard to the pleas of thousands of
residents who will definitely even-
tually have their views of the har-
bor, the bridges, the waterfront
and Stanley Park replaced with the
sight of concrete towers and
black-paved parking lots?

These council members have
been elected to their positions by
the citizens of this city to represent
and regard their interests and not

Dea. Editor:

Now that the Man In Motion
World Tour is over and I have
completed most of the commit-
ments and responsibilities during
the wind-down phase, I have had
an opportunity to reflect on some
of the experiences and highlights
of the tour.

One thing that consistently
comes to mind and has inspired me
to write this letter to you is the in-
credible support generated in each
community as we travelled home
across Canada. It was because of
this team effort that we were able
to accomplish the objectives of the
Man in Motion World Tour
beyond our wildest dreams.

I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to thank everyone on the
North Shore who participated and
helped fulfil my dream. Your
friendship, love and support have
meant more to me than words can
ever express.

I would like to sacourage
everyone in this country to
remember that the dream of one
day seeing all disabled persons
having the opportunity to reach
their full potential has still not
been accomplished. With your
continued support, we will
ultimately achieve that goal.
