North Vancouver city mayor Darrell Mussatto graduated from 11 years as a councillor in 2005. He took 40.15% of the vote in a four-way race, upsetting incumbent mayor Barb Sharp. He is poised for a bigger victory on Nov. 15, but faces bigger challenges to keep ample affordable housing in the city. Lower Lonsdale is being transformed into condo-rich LoLo, but the fashionable former shipbuilding centre is just downhill from aging walk-up apartment buildings that offered trouble for local firefighters in May. Transportation is always a concern in North Van city where help is on the way in the form of a third SeaBus. Will it be enough to quell Mussatto’s concern about paralyzing traffic tie-ups on the Lions Gate or Ironworkers Memorial?
