Re: Highway Street Name Signs

In 1978 we requested permission from the Ministry of Highways
to install large size street name signs from the traffic signal poles on
the Lougheed Highway. This was to allow drivers to recognize the major
intersections from a ways back on the highway. At the time we were refused
permission to install these Signs.

Victoria now has a new Director of Traffic Engineering who has

authorized the use of the traffic signal poles for mounting such signs.
The signs would be a maximum size of 8" x 48" and would be hung from the

middle of the traffic Signal arm.

As there are five main intersections, a total of ten signs would
be required at a cost of approximately $100.00 each.

The Committee feels that it would be worthwhile to have these
larger signs and recommends that the funds for this Signing be provided in
the 1980 Budget.

Re: Improvement of Corner at_1766 Western Drive

Mrs. Darrah of 1766 Western Drive wrote concerning the unsightly
condition of the boulevard in front of her home. This boulevard is used as
a short-cut by pedestrian traffic and cyclists on the way to school and it
does appear that there would be no point in the Darrah's landscaping the
property themselves. There is a sidewalk up to the intersection along
Western Drive and another sidewalk on the north side of Lamprey. Unfortunately,
this seems to mean nothing to the pedestrians.
