North Vancouver Cis coun asthe male councillors narrow ly deteated 2 proposal thar would have aliow ea third party advertising in the form of poral and planting schemes depict ing a corporation’s loge on designated roadways through out the city

Couns. Stella Jo Dean, Barbara Sharp and) Barbara Perrault vated in favour of gar den advertising; Couns. Bob Fearnley, Darrell Mussatto, and John Braithwaite along with Mavor Jack Loucks were opposed.

Said a disgruntled Dean, “See, the women of this coun- cil are concerned about: city beautification.”

The city. was initially approached by Garden Communications in January 1998. The company sought a ficence to design, plant, and maintain “landscaped corpo- rate logos” on city-owned property.

In particular, areas such as Low Level Road are being touted as ripe for garden advertising.

The companies would) be responsible for the mainte- nance of the gardens; that would result in some financial rewards for the city.

When discussing the cur Tent appearances of areas such asthe Low bevel Road, Sharp told council a garden adver- trement wouldn't be unattrac: uve.

“Td preter to see this go to a pulvic meeting,” she said. “T would ’t necessarily categorize these murals as beautitul, how- ever what we have down there fon Low Level Road) now is pretty ugly so this could be an improvement ... we Already see advertising everywhere else, this adds colour (to the city).”

“Councillor Dean's argu- ment is a wood one, E think we should took at this on a. site specific basis,” Perrault offered.

“We all talk about city beautification, —here’s an opportunity. It won't impact on any neighbourhoods per se, and advertisements in’ general seem to have become more sophisticated.”

But the women councillor’s arguments tell on deat cars.

Mavor Jack Loucks cast the tie- breaking vote to reject the proposal. “EL don't think it's wise to support this proposal,” Mavor Loucks said. “Not until we see what happens down there (on Low Level Roads.”
