Dear Editor:
Regarding the front page story on blackberry bushes: it absolutely astounds me. These bushes off Windsor Park need to be cut. So, the district won't do it, why should the owners pay when they are saying it is attracting bears? What the heck is going on here? When I recently lived in West Vancouver, some out-of-country people bought three houses in a row and they cut down almost everything, including ornamental trees and blackberry bushes in the alley. No one said or did anything. So, why do these ladies have to pay to have this done? Shame on the District of North Vancouver. This is your job if these bushes are on municipal land. Get on with it and stop quibbling. I am sick to death with it. What, we shoot the bears because they are coming after something they want.Absolutely absurd. Who is sitting there in their office, making too much money and not making decisions? You all sound like children, when we should be moving forward with a solid plan. Get on with it. It is not a difficult decision to make. If you are paying municipal gardeners too much, then look at that also. I'm disgusted and so tired of all this you know what!
