THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

Re: Pwe -2~- October 8, 1981

The Committee recognizes that there is a problem and in the
past has dealt with this by installing a sign on Fraser Avenue
instructing traffic to turn at the end of the street. This sign
is totally ineffective, partly because it is unenforceable and
partly because drivers fail to see it.

The Committee discussed possible solutions. It is not possible
to prevent vehicles from turning into Fraser Avenue without extending
the median in such a way that it blocks all turns including those
of the residents themselves. The construction of curbs would require
the road itself to be reconstructed and widened and this is outside
the capabilities of the budget. The residents are not prepared to
pay for local improvement. Some additional legal signing may be
helpful. Therefore, the Committee recommends that signs indicating
No U-Turn be placed along the street in conjunction with the sign
indicating turns to be made at the end of the street. These
No U-Turn signs should be made legal by amending the Traffic Bylaw.
The Conmittee also recommends that the Department of Highways be
requested to allow @ Sign on the Lougheed Highway indicating the
direction of the City center for those visitors who are unsure
which way to turn off the Highway.

Re: Relocation of Langan Avenue

At the present time Langan Avenue east of Broadway Street
is constructed to the point shown on the attached sketch. At the
time of construction the proposed final alignment of the road was
as shown by Road "B" on the sketch. The purpose of the realignment
was to simplify the intersection of Kingsway and Coast Meridian.
The intention of the City was to combine the unopen portion of
Langan Avenue with the triangular City land shown on the corner
and to make some kind of an exchange with the owner of 1815 Coast
Meridian for the right-of-way required for Road "B",

The owner has approached the City about development of this
land. The land is correctly zoned for Industrial and the owner
ra building permit. If subdivision is not
way of forcing the dedication of Road "BY",
To make the exchange desirable from the owner's point of view, it
would be necessary to relocate a section of sanitary sewer which is
