A group living in RVs on a tiny patch of land off Highway 1 in North Vancouver has neighbours concerned about road safety and sanitation.
Known as Bowser Island, the enclave was once home to pleasant, suburban houses — a beautiful fieldstone wall and spired gate testify to that — but the buildings were long ago torn down to their foundations and the sewer line decommissioned when the Upper Levels Highway was widened.
As Bowser’s name suggests, it’s very much like an island, surrounded by a moat of asphalt lanes.
