It’s a double feature this Monday as West Vancouver mulls housing seniors and the City of North Vancouver considers daycare during its council meetings.
West Vancouver
Council is set to get their first look at a 48-unit seniors rental building earmarked for the 700-block of Keith Road. Amica Lions Gate (formerly Maison Senior Living) is proposing a development that could involve consolidating properties at 727 and 701 Keith Road to create an 81,261 square-foot site to facilitate the new rental building.
In order to keep Canada Revenue from taking a bigger bite of their take home pay, council may also give themselves a raise. The pay hike would mean an extra $16,506 for the mayor and an additional $4,992 for each councillor.
Council is also set to discuss the Community Emergency Preparedness Fund, to hear from the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association, and to vote on community grants for a host of organizations ranging The Whole Dyslexic Society to Rotary Clubs of the North Shore.
City of North Vancouver
What time is last call?
Council will consider that question as Pier 7 restaurant applies to move its cut-off time from midnight to 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
If approved, the restaurant’s patio would have to quiet down at 11 p.m. and close at midnight. The last drinks would need to be emptied by 1:30 a.m.
But while the Shipyards is looking to attract traffic, the Cloverley neighbourhood is still looking to manage it.
Council is set to appraise the effectiveness of speed bumps and one-way streets in terms of reducing the volume and speed of through traffic in the Cloveley neighbourhood and to consider if further measures are necessary.
Lastly, spurred by Coun. Jessica McIlroy, city staff may investigate the feasibility of offering child-minding services during council meetings.
District of North Vancouver
Council’s meeting is closed to the public. So, since June 10 marks the 62nd anniversary of the election of prime minister John Diefenbaker, why not mark the occasion by seeking out Canadian folk singer Bob Bossin’s sentimental/satirical, slilghtly spicy tribute to the former chief?
