b. Collector Roads Layouts

The Area Control Plan provides accesses to Coast Meridian Road, Dominion
Avenue, Freemont Street and Prairie Averue. Provision ig made for the
re-alignment of Freemont Street and a future connection to Lougheed Highway.

The internal collector roads have been designed to accommodate public
transit and offers some flexibility should it need to be modified at the
rezoning stage.

Local roade are not detailed by the Area Control Plan; it is appropriate
thac they be discussed at the Rezoning and Subdivision stages. However,
policies for the degign of the locai roads are contained in the Area Control
Plan.

¢. School and Park System:

The Plan shows two school sites, as requested by the School Board. These
sites are immediate to park sites to allow for some sharing of faciliries and
more efficient use of the land. The parks system is designed to be within
walking distance to most residents in the area and to allow safe pedestrian
access to schools, including Cedar Drive School.

State of Current Official Plan:

The Official Community Plan of the City cf Port Coquitlam was scheduled to
have a major review and update by 1988, or earlier if development occurred at
a pace greater than anticipated by the Plan. Although development activity
was clearly greater than anticipated the Plan has yet to be reviewed.

Some aspects of the plan have become irrelevant, and some necessary
policies and guidelines for current and future development are either
ineffective or non-existent. It is urgent to undertake a major review or a
complete re~writing of the Official Community Plan.

It is estimated that this work would require approximately one man~year to
undertake this work and could not be undertaken by the Planning Department in
1990, without additional staff.
