IF OFFICIALS of Grouse Mountain agree to enter a cost sharing agreement with the District of North Vancouver, they will be able to modify the fence on the west side of Upper Cleveland Park in time for their hang gliding season.

The fence in question stretches from the park’s backstop to the south corner of the field where it meets a five-foot fence. Modifica- tions would permit removal of the fence in the spring, with replacement at the close of the hang gliding season.
