ITEM I

Re: Larchway Traffic Speeding

George Aldcroft of 3040 Larchway was present concerning speecing
of vehicles on Larchway. Mr. Aldcroft mentioned that the residents of the
street had asked him to act as spokesman and to try to get the City to do
something about the speeding of traffic on Larchway and the hazard that this
causes to children walking to and from the school and playing in the street.

The residents had initially wanted speed bumps but were prepared
to accept a playground zone which would allow the police to better enforce
the speed. :

The Committee considered the fact that there are no sidewalks
on Larchway even though it is the main approach to the school for a lot of
children. It also serves as access to a playground. The Committee recommends
that the present school zone on Fraser Street be removed and a playground zone
be installed on Larchway from Tamarach to Fraser and on Fraser from the
entrance to Meridian Gardens to Kilmer Street.

ITEM IT

Re: Access to Lacrosse Box at Pearkes School

The problem of vandalism in the lacrosse box had been discussed
by Council and referred to the Committee. The Committee recommends that the
log which blocks off Ulster Street just north of the lacrosse box be moved
and relocated to a point about 200 feet south of its present position and
that some rough grading be done on the portion of Ulster Street in the vicinity
of the lacrosse box. This would allow the R.C.M.P. to drive their vehicles
directly up to the lacrosse box and will make it easier for them to check
the vandalism.
