ITEM Il

Re: Anita Drive Storm Sewer

In accordance with Council's direction, the Committee
met with four residents of Anita Drive. After a lengthy dis-
cussion it was decided that sufficient support from residents
on Anita Drive could not be obtained in order to consider under-
taking this work under a Local Improvement Programme. The
Committee advised the residents present that a storm sewer
installation (possibly for a portion of the street) would be
part of the Committee's 1978 Budget submission. The residents
requested an opportunity to speak to Council at the March 13th,
1978 Council Budget Meeting.

Re: Pedestrian Activated Traffic Light -
Viscount Elementary School

Further to Council's decision to install a pedestrian
actuated traffic light on Prairie Avenue at Viscount Elementary
School, the City Engineer has discussed the proposed installation
with the R.C.M.P., School District No. 43, and Z. Kuun, Traffic
Consultant. It was unanimously agreed that the traffic light
should be placed at the former mid-block crosswalk location on
Prairie Avenue between Flint Street and Oxford Street and that
the three crosswalk postings at Flint Street and Oxford Street
‘be removed. The estimated cost of a traffic light installation
at the mid-block location is $5,500.00.
