THE CORPORATION OF THE
CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM
TO: B. Kirk May 22, 1986
City Administrator

FROM: F.E. Peters, P. Eng.,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Extension of Railing through the Underpass.

Recommendation:

That the hand railing along the sidewalk et the north end of
Shaughnessy Street Underpass be extended to [ts former location with
the costs to be borne by the Public Works Unallocated Fund.

Background and Comments:

The Merchants Association has drawn to the attention of the
Public Works Committee the fact that a portion of the hand ralling
along the Underpass sidewalk was removed some years ago due to a
traffic accident. it has never been replaced as It was considered to
be unnecessary. In reviewing this request tha Committee considered
the fact that any Ifabllity suit resulting from a pedestrian accident
at this location would no doubt mention the fact that a hand railing
had at one time existed and had not been replaced. The Committee
therefore felt that It was desirable to replace it.
