June 21st, 1976

Moved by Alderman Mabbett:

That the foregoiny resolution be amended by deleting from the last
paragraph thereof the words "walking conditions along the Lougheed
Highway return to a reasonable standard" and inserting "a sidewalk is
constructed" in its place.

Lost for Want of a Seconder.

A further discussion ensued at which time Aldermen Keryluk and Thompson
expressed the view that perhaps it would be advisable to await the
results of the School Board Meeting scheduled for June 22nd at which it
was expected tle subject would be discussed further. Acting-Mayor
Alderman Traboulay noted that the Board would be restricted in its
actions by the provisions of the Public Schools Act and therefore the
desired reply may net be forthcoming. Alderman Laking noted that previous
attempts to have the Department of Highways include sidewalk provisions
in their designs had not been successful and cited the Maple Ridge area

where the municipality was responsible for the sidewalk construction

along the Highway and suggested that a similar situation would result in

the City should the question of a sidewalk be pursued.

Moved by Alderman Keryluk:

Seconded by Alderman Laking:

That the subject of the foregoing resolution. be referred to the
Public Works Committee for review and report back to Council in one
week,

Defeated.

Aldermen Keryluk and Laking voted in favour of the resolution.
In the speaking against the foregoing resolution of referral, Alderman
Thompson suggested that the extent of the review being requested by
Council could not be accomplished in such a short period of time and
Alderman Ranger suggested that a further report to Council would result
in the necessity of resolutions, in addition to those of the June 7th
and 14th, 1976 Council meetings, which to date have failed to bring the
desired results and further suggested that the School Board should be
given an opportunity to respond following their June 22nd meeting.
Acting-Mayor Alderman Traboulay also indicated that notice had been
received of a Public Meeting with M.L.A. George Kerster, Jume 25th, 1976

at which time a solution ta the problem may become evident.
