Application for Revenue Sharing Highways Grants
(public Works Committee Meeting of December 13, 1988)

Recommendation:

That the 1989 Revenue Sharing Highways Grant Application include the
following projects:

lL. Wellington - Prairie to Lincoin 805,000
2. Coast Meridian - Lougheed to Westminster 470 ,000
3, Coast Meridian ~ Westminster to Prairie 436 ,Q00

Background and Comments :

Applications for the 1989 Revenue Sharing Highways Grant is due on January
2, 1989. Under this program, the Province will fund 50% of the cost of items
eligible.

The Public Works Committee reviewed the roads eligible under this program
and selected the two sections of Coast Meridian from Lougheed to Prairie as a
priority. In addition, recognizing the commitment of the previous Council to
complete the section of Wellington from Prairie to Lincoln the Committee has
also included this project on the list. Even though Wellington is not an
eligible road under the program it was thought that there would be no harm in
submitting this project to Highways for consideration.

The submission of this grant application will not commit Council to the
construction of these projects in 1989. The suggested road projects in the
recommendation will be included in the 1989 Preliminary Capital Budgets.
Council will have the opportunity to assess the merits of these projects and

the source of municipal funding during the up-coming budget Giscussions.

in order for staff to submit an application to the Ministry of Highways a
resolution of Council is required. .
