Bikers bother Lynn Valley residents

ing permits per household to banish the “por-smoking, urinating bikers” drawn to the Lynn Valley neighbour- hood.

Said Coun. vor Carolan,“I don’t think we can put up with those kind of complaints - people urinat- ing, undressing and dressing, bur I don’t want to send a Negative message to the mountain bike community either.”

The portion of Mountain Highway above McNair is 36 feet wide (11 m) and con-

tains only 40 parking spots Under the trial agreem 20 of those will be for the public and 20 for residents. Council decided: ® to keep the gate near Borthwick Road closed; provide for a park ranger to monitor parking, traffic and social behaviour on Mountain Highway; @ to install a second garbage container at the north end of the highway. Funds of up to $21,000 were approved to facilitate these changes.

“I don’t think the plan is a bad thing.

“It’s kind of bummer, but we want to work with these people,” Maude said.

District staff will be reviewing the situation over the next six weeks and reporting back to council on Aug. 9.
