Meanwhile, all three North Shore mayors were surprised to hear about the Squamish Nation’s proposal. Said North Vancouver District (NVD) Mayor Murray Dykeman, “This is one more possible choice. I’m not unexcited about it unless it involves some kind of delay. “I’m prepared to look at it.” West Vancouver Mayor Mark Sager said he had heard “through the grapevine” that the Squamish Nation had a bridge proposal in the works, but he declined to comment until he had seen further details on the proposal, In.

He commended the Squamish Nation for being able to submit a crossing proposal while at the same time tackling treaty negotiations with the federal and provincial gov- ernments. MLA Schreck dismissed any suggestion that the Squamish were trying to bypass public input on the issue by submitting its proposal late in the game. : “When the Squamish Nation behaves like any good business per- son and at-the same time balances the interest of its own people and chooses timing to its advantage, were that Jimmy Pattison doing the same thing, we’d say, that was a- good business move,” he said. The bridge the nation plans to build would be a twin to the exist- ing Lions Gate structure, ‘Chief Joe said Squarnish band labor would probably be used in its construction. He declined to provide any fur- ther details of the project until its plans had been officially unveiled next Wednesday. ..
