Dear Six:
mo, _ Re: Your letter of March 4 to the

Director of Design & Surveys con-
cerning Lougheed Hwy. Widening,

I have been as’ed to reply to items 4 and 5 of your
letter as above. There seems to be some misunderstan-~
Ging of the Departments policy in respect to lighting
and signals. The Department will pay the capital costs
of lighting, where deemed necessary, at intersections.
Where there is continuous raised median on the arterial
the Department will illuminate, on the approach side of
the intersection, the area encompasse. by a left turn
lane, Where there is no continuous raised median, but
there is raised Left turn channelization the Department
will illuminate all cf the channelized area. The Dep-
artment will pay 50% of the cost of porer and maintenance

'of Lighting that we have installed and paid for.

Re. your item 5, the Department will pay 100% of
the capital cost of new signals or rebuilding of signals,
and 50% of the cost of power and maintenance. This
would apply to Westwood, Hastings Street and Shaughnessy
Street. We have no traffic information yet on Oxford
and on Coast Meridian intersections hence we cannot say
whether we feel signals are needed at these locations.
