MEMORANDUM NOV 29 {982

TO: B. Kirk, November 25, 1982
City Administrator

FROM: F.E. Peters., P. Eng.,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Landscaping for Shaughnessy/Wilson/Marpole
Intersection — Public Works Committee, Nov. 16, 1982

RECOMMENDATION:

That the old Marpole Avenue road allowance at the
above intersection not be converted into parking but that
special signing be placed through the downtown area directing

people to the existing parking lots.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

On instructions from Council both the Public Works
Committee and the Downtown Revitalization Committee have
reconsidered the request to look at the possibility of placing
parking in the Marpole/Wilson intersection on the old Marpole
Avenue road allowance. The attached sketch shows a parking

arrangement for twelve vehicles with access off the lane east
of Shaughnessy Street. This parking lot would take up
approximately 60% of the area available for landscaping and
would cost about $10,000 to construct.

A report from the Downtown Revitalization Committee
is attached. The report recommends that the area be landscaped
and additional signing be placed in the City center directing
peopie to the existing parking lots. The Public Works
Committee also recommends that the parking not be installed
because of the un-budgeted cost and because of the loss of
landscaping for the Southgate entrance to the City center.

F.E. Peters.,
City Engineer
