area W.Coq.R. improvements for the area West of the Coquitlam River, particularly,
that South of the Lougheed Highway. Representatives ef the Association
were in attendance, and on invitation from Mayor Campbell, Mr. A. MacDonald,
3130 Jervis Street, act*ag as spokesman for the group, mentioned the
unsatisfactory access and egress to the area for vehicular and pedestrian
traffic. He proposed that a pedestrian tridge~ perhaps across the River

to Lions Park be constructed and that the C.P.R. mainline tidy up the

reserve along Davies Avenue - perhaps landscaping to provide a visual

buffer. Mr. MacDonald also mentioned the Association is not opposed to

the proposed Huntington Rubber rezoning provided the M-3 zoning gives
more controlling power; however, they are opposed to a subdivision
within this zoning at this time due to the uncertainty of the surrounding
bridges, highways, and the access and egress to the area. Alderman
Traboulay referred to a letter from the Vector Control Officer advising
that the C.P.R. Yards are not being satisfactorily cleaned up and that
the pigeons are returning. Alderman Laking mentioned that residents on
the Western end of Davies Avenue face directly onto the tracks and they
would like them screened by a buffer of trees. Alderman Ranger agreed
that planting trees would help alleviate the problem. Mayor Campbell
requested that the Association's letter be left for study, and requested
Alderman Thompson, Chairman of the Public Works Committee, to check into
the estimated cost of constructing a pedestrian bridge across the River.
