TO: B. Kirk, May 12, 1983
City Administrator

FROM: FE. Peters., P. Eng.,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Proposal for 1983 Unatlocated Capital -
Public Works Committee, May 9th, 1983

RECOMMENDATION:

That the fotlowing projects be included for
construction in 1983 out of the $80,000 of unallocated Public
Works Capital Funds available as a result of the variable mill
rate option: .

1. $9,000 for construction of a sidewalk on the east
side of Apel Drive from Toronto Street to Lynwood

Avenue.

$800 for the compietion of a 40-foot section of
sidewalk missing from Coquitiam Avenue across from
York Street. -

The remainder for a pavement overlay program on as
yet undesignated streets.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

The Committee proposes an early allocation of funds
in the unallocated Public Works Budget in order to atlow design
To proceed. The projects described above have some merit in
the opinion of the Committee and are described more fully

below.

The sidewalk on Apel Drive switches from the west to
the east side of the road but there Is a gap between Toronto
Street and Lynwood Avenue with no sidewalk of any kind. This
section is adjacent to City-owned parkland and therefore wil!
not be built by development. Ultimately the sidewalk should
extend along the east side all the way to Coast Meridian Road.
The cost of installing the full length of this sidewalk would
be about $30,000 which is considered too rich for this year and
some of the sidewalk may be obtainable in the future from
developments. However, the shorter section adjacent to City
parkland can be built for about $9,000.
