The pattern of street lights used by Coquitlam would be
Preferred for photometric and a Sthetic reasons. These are,
of course, more expensive!

The propased signal phasing should be reviewed with mpre
current traffic forecasts. The Hamilton Study of 1985
requires review as the Town Centre continues to develop. In
particular, we are looking at the Town Centre Park, Douglas
College campus, end high density residenvial development to
the north as potentially affecting the traffic patterns in
this area.

PRELIMINARY BENEFIT/COST SHARING ANALYSTS

Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam have shared costs on inter-
municipal roadways in the past. The Westwood/Kingsway project
was shared equally, but the Crossing protection on Kingsway,
wholly within the City of Port Coquitlam, was not shared by
the District. In examining the Proposed scope of work, we

looked for a method to apply the formula in the inter-
municipal agreement.

The changes to Westwood Street includes adding a second
northbound through lane on the Port Coquitlam side of the
boundary; and adding a second (south to east) Gurning lane to
Westwood north of Crabbe on the Coquitlam side of the common
arterial. Signalization of Westwood at Crabbe is the other
Significant: improvement ts the inter-municipal road.

Applying the formula to the project Suggests a SO per cost
share of Signals ($31,910) Plus ai similar proportion of
Shareable improvements to Westwood. The eligibie components
of the project, would be, arguably, the additional lane width
On Westwood, the median extensions, curb, gutter, and
sidewalk, catch basins and street lighting.

Based on a final design, we would be prepared to recommend
Some cost sharing for Westwood improvements over and above the
direct signalization costs.

One suggestion from our Planning Director is to consider use
of the new lot for a service station. He understands that a
very Sigh value was paid by another oil company for such a
site an Johnson Street and if this value was achieved, your
costs could be fully recovered.
