BACKGROUND

Application 31/88 has been on hold for some time pending resolution of
traffic and access concerns.

Tne citizens in the area have expressed their opposition to have
Woodland Drive connected north to the District of Coquitlam due to the
potential increase in traffic.

In conversations with our Engineering Department and the Planning
Department of the District of Coquitlam a solution to secure appropriate
emergency access without introducing subatantial additional traffic to the
area has been identified.

The alternative now proposed is to retain the separation between

Woodland Drive and Pipeline Road providing a fire emergency access which could
double as a pedestrian connection, between thege two roads.
