COST ESTIMATE POTENTIAL GRANT

Coast Meridian Road 1.0 Million $500,000
(Prairie Avenue
to Lincoln Avenue)

Kingsway Avenue 1.2 Million $600,000
(Westwood Street to
Shaughnessy Street
Overpass)

We were originally going to recommend to Council that our first priority should be the
Kingsway Avenue project however, because of the fairly complicated procedure for obtaining all
the eligible grants, it may be wise to schedule this project for 1993. For example we will apply
for grants from Transport Canada to assist in upgrading the railway crossing; from the Provincial
Government for the road construction; plus cost sharing from Coquitlam for the traffic signal.
Further, we will need approval from the National Railway Transportation Authority for
improvements to the grade crossing. Therefore, we recommend that we replace Kingsway with

the Coast Meridian Road project as number one priority for 1992.

Both projects are necessary to improve the traffic flow characteristics of the roads and
intersections and to upgrade the pavement and substructure. If both are approved in the 1992
grant program, we would propose constructing Coast Meridian Road in 1992 and Kingsway
Avenue in 1993.
