Bus Routes #160 aad #190 Cocnitlaun Re

That Council approve the re-routing of #160 and #190 bus routes from the interior parking lot of
the Port Coquitlam Recreation Center to Wilson Avenue/Kingsway Avenue/Kelly Avenue/Mary
Hill Road. '

Ansel Wang and Jiga Parks of B.C. Transit attended the April 15th Public Works Committee
meeting to discuss the attached letter from B.C. Transit dated February 6, 1992 requesting that
an existing bus stop be extended across the entrance of the Port Coquitlam Recreation Centre in
order to extend the existing bus stop. A representative from B.C. Transit also presented the
attached three‘ options for re-routing bus #160 and #190 near the Port Coquitlam Recreation

Center.

Extending the bus stop across the recreation centre entrance would restrict drop-offs and
pick-ups. Also, there is some concem that there are large articulating buses that have to travel
through the recreation center parking lot.

It is therefore recommended that bus routes #160 and #190 be relocated to Wilson

Avenue/Kingsway Avenue/Kelly Avenue/Mary Hill Road as shown in Option i there by
eliminating the need for the articulating buses to travel through the Port Coquitlam Recreation

Center parking lot.
