THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM . C 0 [J N oy
MEMORANDUM Ly

NOV 9 1981

TO: Bryan Kirk, November 3, 1981
City Administrator

FROM: F.E. Peters,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Lougheed Highway Access to Best Western Motel -~
Public Works Committee, October 27th, 1981

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City write to the Department of Highways
supporting a request from the merchants on Lougheed Meridian Road
for a right turn only access directly from the Highway.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

The attached copy of the letter from Ron Little explains
the need for additional access to the merchants along the Lougheed
Meridian Road. Because the only access to these merchants is off

oad, by the time drivers from the east realize
; s is they have already passed it and are unable to
turn around because of the Highway median.

The Public Works Committee did not agree with the other
request in the letter for a 50 kilometer speed zone. Such a low
speed limit is inappropriate for a highway of this standard.
