Re: Parking Area ~ Shopping Centre - Shaughnessy and Lougheed

At the last meeting of Council the Building and Protection Committee
was asked to review the parking situation at the Shopping Centre on
Shaughnessy and Lougheed. It appeared from an old site plan that the
Developer planned to use all of the unopened portion of Coquitlam Avenue
adjacent to the shopping centre for parking and it was thought that some
parking arrangements should be made with the owner.

The Committee has looked at the situation and has determined
that the plan was not a final As~built drawing, but: possibly a proposal
submitted at some stage of development. Council may recall that this
building was involved in a bankruptcy and remained unfinished for a
year or so.

The present situation is that a portion of Coquitlam Avenue
was paved to provide access around the end of the building to the lane
behind. There are nine parking spaces in this area, compared to some
thirty spaces shown on the original drawing. The Committee has concluded
that nothing can be instituted to set up some sort of parking agreement
now with the owners of the shopping centre, the area is entirely public
road allowance and, although Council has the authority to regulate and
control parking on this area, we have no authority to enter into a parking
arrangement. and make charges for the use of this area.
