re road sign-:
permission to erect a road sign six feet high, thirty inches in diameter, City entrance |
~Pitt R.Road
displaying the Kinsmen Crest and meeting place of the Club, on Pitt
River Road at the entrance to Port Coquitlam.
A discussion ensued, and Alderman Laking pointed out that the
Council had rejected similar requests received from other organizations,
and stated he felt signs placed at the entrances to the City should have
space thereon for listing all the local service clubs and churches and
their meeting dates. Alderman Mabbett stated that a recent request from
the Legion to erect a directional sign was referred back to that organization

for possible revision as a 'group' sign. Alderman Traboulay referred to

the removal, due to rental costs, of the previous Information Sign on

the Lougheed Highway, which had local service clubs listed thereon, and he

pointed out that at that time 1t was recommended that the City's own
Sign Department construct a similar one and install it on that site.

Moved by Alderman Traboulay:

Seconded by Alderman Laking

That the City Administrator undertake the direction of setting up a City
entrance sign or signs, and that the Kinsmen Club of Port Coquitlam be

asked to assist in the co-ordination thereof. Carried.
