SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR SIDEWALK - EAST SIDE OF PITT RIVER ROAD
YUKON AVENUE TO ROUTLEY AVENUE
(Public Works Committee Mecting of October 19, 1993)

RECOMMENDATIONS:

That Council approve the installation of a 1.5 metre wide shale sidewalk on the
east side of Pitt River Road from Routley to Yukon as shown on the attached
Plan A at an estimated cost of $9,000.

2) That Council allocate $9,000 from the Special Public Works Capital Reserve for
this purpose.

BACKGROUND & COMMENTS:

Residents Living in the Yukon/Jacana/Eureka area are requesting that a sidewalk be installed on
the east side of Pitt River Road from Routley to Yukon. ;

The Public Works Committee considered the attached memorandum from Russ Mammel dated
October 7, 1993 showing that a concrete sidewalk complete with drainage and road widening
would cost approximately $45,000 plus the cost for telephone pole relocation. There are
insufficient funds available in the 1993 Budget for this project. Also the relocation of the
telephone poles could take severai months to complete. It was noted that the road widening and

sidewalk construction at this locaticn is proposed as a capital project under the development cost
charge bylaw and would eventually be constructed under the development cost charge program.

At this time, it is recommended that a 1.5 metre wide shale sidewalk be constructed on the east
side of Pitt River Road as shown on Plan A. This project could be completed in approximately

one week.
