Vintage train station | ‘to make Quay move |

THE REDEVELOPMENT of ’ Lower Lonsdale as a heritage “town centre moved one step closer Feb. 12 when North : Vancouver City Council voted - to proceed with the first two ’ phases of the project.

NORTH VANCOUVER CITY SOUNCIL By Bob Mackin

Subdject to finalization of financ- ing, the former Pacific Great Eastern (PGE) railway station will be returned from Mahon Park to its former location at Lonsdale Quay near the Seven Seas ficating restau- rant’s parking.

The move could happen as early as this spring. A vintage streetcar being stored at Mahon Park may be displayed nearby.

The North Vancouver Museum and Archives will be responsible for managing the building and its pro- gramming. However, at least 40% of programming time must be for non-museum community use.

The first phase budget is estimat- ed at $86,670, while phase two will be slighdly larger at $90,000.

‘Phase three has been referred to the finance committee and is the most expensive at $250,000. It will cost about $100,000 for the option- al phase four, which involves the streetcar relocation. ;

Additionally, the city will lose as much as $50,000 a year in parking Ttevenue since the current parking plaza will be converted to pedestri- an use.

Funding for various phases of the project will come from the city’s tax sale lands fund, BC Rail (PGE’s successor), Kiwanis, and the provincial government's BC 21 community infrastructure fund.
