City Engineer

SUBJECT: Proposed Bus Route on Victoria Drive -
Public. Works Committee, October 20th, 1981

RECOMMENDATION:

That we stay with the existing bus service on the north
‘side of the City.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

Mr. John Mills of the G.V.R.D. Transit Department had been
requested to consider a possible rerouting of the "Prairie" bus
which turns at Chelsea. It had been suggested that this bus should
be rerouted to pick up the new housing along Victoria Drive. Mr. —
‘Mills advised that the only way this area could be served without
serious disadvantage to the present users would pe to reroute both
the "Prairie" and the "Coast Meridian" bus routes on a reverse loop
system. This would mean taking the "Coast Meridian" bus off the |
Coast Meridian/Wellington route and serving only Wellington and
Victoria Drive.

Other options were considered by the Committee but it
‘appeared that no other routes were possible without actually adding
more buses and that the addition of buses was not possible due to
lack of equipment. The Committee therefore made the above recom-
mendation and would expect that the situation would be reviewed
when the. north side of Victoria Drive is also developed.
