SUBJECT: Shaughnessy Street Improvements
(Public Works/Traffic Committee August 14, 1990)

Recommendation:

l. That Council approve the following improvements for Shaughnessy
Street;

ae that the signal timing for the McAllister traffic signal be
adjusted to provide a four second intergreen clearance
interval for both phases;

that curve warning signs, and centre line reflective markers
be placed on Shaughnessy near Marpole and Wilson;

that pavement markings on Shaughnessy be realigned to provide
left turn lanes on to Wilson and Marpole; and

d. that pedestrian signal heads and induction loops be installed
at the Shaughnessy/McAllister intersection.

That $20,000.00 be allocated from 1990 Capital Budget for this
purpose.

Background & Comments:

Committee reviewed the attached memorandum which summarizes the report
entitled "Shaughnessy Street Traffic Study", prepared by Hamilton Associates”,
dated March, 1990. The Committee felt that the proposal of four lane
operation of Shaughnessy between Elgin and White during weekday afternoons
between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. would not be effective because the traffic has
to funnel into two lanes through the underpass after the proposed four lane
operation. Also, the Committee tabled the discussion on crosswalks until the
report is received from the Engineer later in August, regarding the City
Policy alternatives for crosswalks.
