Re: Future Landfill Sites

Alderman Traboulay had requested the available life
of the Terra Nova Landfill and also what other sites are avail-
able. The GVRD advises that the present landfill has four years
left and that other alternatives are being considered. Our own
spoil from construction can be used to fill City property which
is too low. In particular, once the remainder of Thompson Park
has been filled to a satisfactory level, we could use the two
City properties on Broadway as a dumping site.

‘Alderman Traboulay also questioned what was to be done .
with the old Welcher Dump site. The Committee feels that the
potential use within this area would be recreational and there-
for could be considered by the Leisure Activities Committee.

Re: Takeover of Sweeping Lougheed Highway

The Ministry of Highways has a standard policy which
it follows with respect to cost-sharing on highways through the ;
municipalities. In the case of arterial highways, this policy
requires that the City take over the sweeping and catch basin
cleaning on any highway which has curbs.

The Lougheed Highway now is curbed on the north side
from Westwood Street to Oxford Street. Some short sections of
curbing exist on the south side as well but as these are not

the standard type of curb and gutter, Highways will not require
us to take over the sweeping on the south side.

; Highways have suggested that we might consider making
an exchange of responsibilities in order to make the maintenance
more efficient for both sides. They have suggested that we do
both sides from Westwood to Shaughnessy and that they do both
sides from Shaughnessy to the other side of Oxford Street. .As
such an arrangement would-be more efficient and iwnore convenient.
for us, the Committee recommends that the proposal from the
District Highways Engineer be accepted and that we be responsible
for sweeping and cleaning catch basins on the section of Lougheed
Highway between Westwood Street and Shaughnessy Street.

Re: Bus Stop Arrangements on Shaughnessy and McAllister

' We have now received a letter from B.C. Hydro giving
their schedule for the bus stop arrangements at the intersection
of Shaughnessy and McAllister starting with their new route
changes in July. The letter assures us that they will not
schedule more than two buses to be stopped in any of the bus
