There are more cars on North Shore roads and Mierau said more of them are speeding.

He said in an ideal world, ‘there would be a traffic light at every block on Lonsdale, but travel patterns of pedestrians and vehi- cles do not justify more at the present time.

Mierau said a traffic light, sim- ilar to one at 17th Street and Lonsdale Avenue, costs approxi- mately $80,000.

eight variance approved for new Caulfeild school

WEST VANCOUVER School District 45 received a devel- opment variance permit Monday to build a higher Caulfeild

but West Vancouver District Council in-

sisted on further negotiation and study of outstanding parking, traffic and access issues raised over the new school

project.

Local residents continue to be concerned about the impact the school will have on traffic patterns in the area. The school site is ad-

jacent to the Someplace Special.

Shopping Centre.

Some protested a plan to put the teachers’ parking lot to the rear of the school and opposite their homes.

Despite 1B1 Group’s offer of a drop-off loop within school grounds and a plan to split teach- ers' parking between the original and new siles, residents (and their legal representatives) continued to ask for moze time and consulta- tion.

A lawyer representing one of the local faniilies referred to the building of the school as an ‘‘ar- chitectural mooning’’ of Headland Drive.

District 45 chairman Peter Bradshaw agreed to delay clearing on the teachers’ parking site for a month, but only after expressing concern for the delays and extra costs that are already being in- curred as a result of design altera- tions to the school. ;

“Tt can’t go on forever, I think said Bradshaw.

He was backed by retired school principal Lloyd Wrean, who pointed out that the local residents bought. their properties knowing

that a school would be built in the area, ,

“The school district bought this site in 1968 and decided to build a school ther2 25 years ago... the site didn’t come to the (residentia!) development — the development came to the site,’’ he said.

Wrean argued that landscaping plans to screen the view of the school from the neighborhood are

far better than what has been pro-.

vided at other schools, such as Hillside, Sentinel and West Van- couver secondary.

Resident and landscape architect Andy Gibbons said that ordi-’ tances for tree cutting and land-

Scaping are.now in place because

people ~have become more can- cerned about the environment.

On the suggestion of Coun. Pat Boname, council agreed to set up « committee consisting of a rep- resentative from council and the school district, plus an. indepen- dent architect or engineer, to meet with residents and deal with the issues revolving around the school project.

“We can’t solve all of these problems tonight,’’ said Boname.

Linda Mitchell, who is tired of her kids having to be bused out of the area to attend high school, was disappointed in the delay and council’s decision.
