Whyte,Marpole
& Wilson Aves.

August 26th, 1974

The Assistant City Engineer suggested that the drainage condition arese beyond
Mr. Routley's property and that possibly the works crew did do some work in
that area. Mr. Routley advised tht most of the work done this year was on the
West side of Oxford Street. The Assistant City Engineer stated he would be re-
porting to the Public Works Committee on this matter. The Works & Utilities
Superintendent stated that some work was done; however, this particular pro-
blem is created by houses built on lots where the surface water used to run
over to the next street...now the water cannot g0 anywhere, and until such time
as the whole drainage system in that area is re-designed, there is going to be
a problem. Alderman Traboulay pointed out that the rainy season will soon be
Starting, and expressed concern that nobody is looking after the public works
problems of the City.

of the Committee, requested that as an interim measure, a notice be placed on
each of the cars parked in front of residents' homes asking the driver's co-
operation in using the existing City-owned parking lots and advising that the
City does not wish to institute two-hour parking; however, that this will have
to be done if co-operaticn is not received,
