Item II

Re: 20 m.p.h. Speed Zones

The Committee had been requested to review the necessity of the
established 20 m.p.h. speed zones in the City, most of which are located on
streets adjacent to school grounds. In view of the fact that the R.C.M.P.
are regularly enforcing these established speed zones and that many metorists
obey the limits, the Committee feels no recommendation for change is necessary

Item III

Re: Department of Highways - Lincoln Avenue

During the recent discussions that the City Engineer had with the
Engineers of the District of Coquitlam and Port Moody concerning the inter-
municipal highways proposal for the Department of Highways consideration,
it became apparent that the District of Coquitlam with the encouragement
and support of the Department of Highways was planning on the establishment
of a major street link with Lincoln Avenue. Presumably this was based on
the City's 1969 Traffic Report by Asscciated Engineering Services Ltd. The
City Engineer pointed out that the establishment of the City’s nature area
eliminated the possibility of Lincoln Avenue becoming a major inter-municipal
arterial street and that it would be unlikely that the City would want to
see Lincoln Avenue tied to a major street from the District. Subsequently
a meeting was held with the District of Coquitlam and the Department of
Highways Planning Section and this meeting resulted in a letter to the City
Engineer from M.G. Elston, Senior Planning Engineer, dated February 14th,
1974, acopy of which is attached. The Committee endorses the proposal of
an east-west crossing of the Coquitlam River north of the Lougheed Highway,
however, because of the establishment of the nature area and the apparent
development of Lincoln Avenue west of Coast Meridian as a local collector
