PROJECT COST ESTIMATE POTENTIAL GRANT

a. Coast Meridian Road
(Westminster to Prairie) $450,000 $225,000

Db. Mary Biil Road
(Genstar's frontage) $861,000 $408 , 000

Westwood/Kitchener
Intersection Realignment $430,000 $134,000

d. East half of Westwood
(Kingsway to Christmas Way) . $840,000 $340,000

The Committee selected Mary Hill Road as the first priority because of the
poor condition and the potential for high maintenance costs and liability
exposure fo the City. The second Priority is the east half of Westwood.
Council should note that the Province has already approved a grant to the
District of Coquitlam to have their half of the road upgraded. The Committee
felt that it would make little sense not to Capitalize on the benefits of doing
both sides of the road at the same time. As part of the upgrading of our half
of Westwood it is proposed that the existing sub-standard waterline be upgraded
to the ultimate size planned for this area. The reason for recommendation 2
above is because the District is currently finalizing the design on their half
of the road. Again, the Committee felt that it would not be in the best
interest of the City to wait until May or June next year when the budget is
finalized before commencing the design work on the City’s half of the road.
Regardless or whether or not Council decides to proceed with this project next
year, the design work will be of use to the City. One final bit of relevant
information is that the four roads considered are all DCC projects.

AS to the funding for Recommendation 2 above, the City Treasurer is in
agreement that it should come from the 1990 Unallocated Public Works Capital
Budget.
