MEMORANDUM

TO: City Administrator October 10, 1986

FROM: City Engineer : |

SUBJECT: Lane Closure west of Taylor Street -
Public Works Committee, October 7, 1986

Recommendation:

That the lane west of Taylor Street between McLean Avenue
and Tyler Avenue be stopped up and clesed to traffic by means
of a barrier across the iane and that the cost be taken from
funds deposited by the developer for fencing.

Background and Comments:

The Public Works Committee received a delegation and a

petition signed by all residents adjacent to the above lane.
The complaint Is that the lane Is being used as a short cut
between McLean and Tyler and that the speed of the vehicites was
a hazard to children who might be crossing the lane. The -
residents wished to see the lane closed at McLean Avenue.

~. ere

The lane is used for garbage collection for the three mid- i
block homes. The pick-up location for these homes can be
diverted to Taylor Street. The lane also serves as part of a ey
circular access for the G.V.R.D0. Sewage Pumping Station. . , : 7

The Committee felt that It would be appropriate to close
this lane as it would eliminate an uncontrolled access to
McLean Avenue near a major Intersection. The best lacation for
a ciosure Is as shown In the attached sketch. This closure
-allows the-continued use of the clrcular driveway for the
pumping station.

At the time of subdivision of the tots on Taylor Street

“the Engineering Department took a $500.00 deposit for future
fencing of the pump station. It would appear that the best
solution is to use that money to put the barricade across the

lane.
