Dear Editor:

I am so appreciative of Trevor Lautens (June 20 column) recognizing the cavalier attitude of our present West Vancouver council concerning the intended desecration of our heritage Ferry Building, by tacking on an unnecessary blockhouse to house an art gallery/coffee shop/lavatory/gift shop.

I have not spoken to a single person who is in favour of this, especially after paying the millions to clear the foreshore for open public pleasure.

Why do we not use the Klee Wyck space? The house is derelict and could be torn down (something we are good at in West Van.!). The area is delightful and as a destination attraction could serve the public well.

I am not against an art gallery, just the location!

Hilary Clark
