Rae 5 SHA ATS ie 8- Friday, April 15, 1994 - North Shore News i xpanding view of the April fool Dear Editor: enthusiastically endorse the proposal expounded in the article “No narrows crossing” by Poisson D’avril in your April | issue. Here we finally have an idea that brushes aside the accumulated mind-sets of the past 50 years and that finally gets back to basics. If you will permit me, | would like to expand D‘avril's s concept lo encompass a larger view of the Lower Mainlavd transportation problem. First, we must be realistic and recognize that there are residents of West Vancouver who must contin- ue to commute to Vancouver while they are readjusting their careers to fit the new reality. The SeaBus terminal is due for rebuilding to fit in with Harcourt’s casino. This presents an opportuni- ty to add SeaBus service to Ambleside to accommodate those who must travel to Vancouver, Second, we must recognize that an appreciable portion of Lion's Gute Bridge traffic is to the ferry terminal at Horseshoe Bay and to Squamish, Whistler, and beyond. The appropriate solution to this problem would be to relocate the ferry terminal from Horseshoe Bay to a new facility at the former defence depariment site at Jericho Beach. In addition to existing services to Nanaimo, Bowen Island and the Sunshine Coast, they would inau- gurate a service to Squamish to ser- vice Whistler’s requirements. I submit that the proposals are consistent with, and complement, the insightful D’avril proposal. Loof Lirpa (R.A.
