THE CORPORATION OF THE
CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM

DATE: November 25, 1993
TO: Igor Zahynacz, P.Eng City Engineer

FROM: Russ Mammel, Supervisor of Design & Technical Services.

SUBJECT: Shaughnessy / Lougheed Traffic Signal Improvements

David Jay from the MOTH was contacted today to discuss possible solutions to the traffic
congestion problems at the above intersection. Because the intersection improvements that are
to be constructed by the new shopping centre may be delayed for some time, an interim
solution should be found.

Mr. Jay agreed to do new traffic counts during the peak period on Saturday, and also use their
existing weekday counts, to re-analyze the intersection.

Two options that will be looked at are:

e Taking some signal timing from the Shaughnessy southbound direction and adding
it to the Shaughnessy northbound direction, during the afternoons. oo

Changing Shaughnessy Street to a split phase operation

Also, the MOTH is presently doing a corridor analysis and signal coordination on the |
Lougheed between Coast Meridian and Westwood. Mr. Jay feels that this may have a positive.
impact on this intersection. . | | :
