Chinese-Conadion
Streef Signs
Come to Voncouver
Vancouver’s famous China-
town has become the first
ethnic community in western
Canada to g e t bilingual
street signs. The markings
have been erected in an
eight - square - block area in
Vancouver’s downtown
Strathcona district. Chinese
characters indicate streets
like Keefer and East Pender
with the English version
underneath.
City Engineer Bill Curtis
says the city responded to a
request from the Chinese
community to erect t h e
signs. Mayor Arthur Phillips
and the city council approv-
ed the proposal although
members voiced concern that
every other ethnic commu-
nity ín Vancouver would
want the expensive replace-
ment signs to grace their
streets. But council empha-
sized that this is a one-time
expenditure undertaken as
part of the urban renewal
plan for the Strathcona area.
Vancouver boasts the sec-
ond largest Chinatown in
N o r t h America, outsized
only by that of San Fran-
cisco. Canada’s third largest
city has a Chinese popula-
tion of 80,000 most of whom
live outside the downtown
area, but the colourful neon-
clad pagodas hiding restau-
rants, import shops and food
stores make the Strathcona
district a popular spot for
residents and visitors.
The city streets depart-
ment sought the servicés of
a member of Vancouver’s
Chinese community to draw
the Chinese script in a fa-
sion that would be most. ac-
ceptable to those who speak
and read in different dia-
lects.
