MEMORANDUM

TO BeR. Kirk, DATE August ji,
City Administrator

FROM: ToM. Chong, Pe. Eng., FILE PWC 88/03/09
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Establisnment of 4-Way Stop at Flint Street/
Cogquitiam Avenue Intersection
(Public Works Committee Meeting August 9, 1988)

Recommendation:

That a 4-way stop intersection be established at Fiint
Street and Coquitlam Avenue and that the City Clerk be
instructed to amend the Traffic Regulations Bylaw to reflect

this decision.

Background and Comments:

Council will recall! the recent fetter from Mrs. Krahenbi|
requesting, amongst other things, the establishment of a 4-way
stop intersection at Flint and Coquitlam. While most of the
Public Works related items requested by Mrs. Krahenbil have
been satisfactorily resolved, this item is still outstanding.
The Committee met with Sgt. Melanson of the Ro«C.M.P. to
specifically review the traffic problem at this intersection on
August 9, 1988.

The Committee reviewed the traffic pattern and volumes in
the icinity of this intersection and agreed that a 4~-way stop

regulation jis warranted. Recent traffic counts at this
intersection revealed that the volume of approach trarfic at
each of the four legs of this intersection is about the same
(approximately 800 vehicles daily).

The Committee also considered the option of barricading
the ftane east of Flint Street south of Coquitlam Avenue.
However, this option would virtually eliminate the needed
access to the rear of the properties fronting onto Flint
Street. in addition, this proposal would force some of the
patrons of the Beer and Wine Store to park along Coauitlam
Avenue east of Flint Street instead of the parking lot
provided. This would create further aggravations for the

residents along Coquitlam Avenue. This option was therefore
rejected.

City Engineer
