ITEM I - Continuec.

3. In Ailly locations a rollover curb does not
allow a vehicle to be parked with wheels
.tuyned against the curb.

The objection of the developers to the use of this
curb was basically because of its higher cost. However, the
Committee feels that some of this cost will eventually be
recovered because the builder will not have to repair broken
curbs or relocate the drop-curb for his driveway. The other
two disadvantages listed cari also be resolved by requiring
that our Type A Vertical Curb and Gutter be used on streets
with steep grades or at all corners. It does not seem to
make sense to use an extruded curb sitting on top of pavement
anymore when a proper curb and gutter sitting directly on the
base can be built for such a small additional cost. The
exception to this rule would be with the completion of streets
in areas which already have the extruded curb on top of pave-~-
ment.

The Committee recommends:

1. That rollover curb and gutter be the accepted
standard for all new residential local streets in areas which
do not already have curbs.

. 2. That vertical curb and gutter be used on steep
-roads in residential subdivisions and on all streets with
fast or heavy traffic volumes.

3. That extruded vertical curb be allowed in sub-
divisions which are in~filling in areas which already have
this type of curb.

ITEM II

Re: Four-Way STOP - Mary Hill Road at Wilson

B.C. Hydro have requested a four-way STOP at this
intersection. The conéitions for a four-way STOP are favour-
able at this location. The traffic volumes are very similar
in each direction being about 2,000 to 2,600 vehicles per
day. The volumes are neither too high to cause congestion
at the four-way STOP nor too low to make the four-way STOP
meaningless. There were eight accidents at this intersection
in 1977 and eight accidents so far in 1978.
