TO: Mayor and Council . October 2nd, 1978

FROM: Public Works Committee

Report from the Public Works Committee Meeting held Priday,
September 29th, 1978.

IN ATTENDANCE: Alderman E.W. Mabbett

Alderman LL.M. Traboulay
F.E. Peters, P. Eng.

in Lane at 3036 Flint

Manager of the apartment complex at the above
address has complained about excessive speed in the lane
behind the apartments. The speed, in particular, affects
the safety of vehicles leaving the underground parking garage
which exits onto the lane and has poor visibility of the lane.

tt appears that a part of the problem of speeding
in the lane is caused by patrons of the Palomino Night Club
on Manning Avenue who use the lane behind these apartments as
a short cut from the parking lot to Coquitlam Avenue. The
attached sketch No. 1 shows the location of the parking lot
and the lane.

; The Committee recommends the.closure cf the lane at
the south end of the parking lot where it connects to the east-
west lane. This would require the users of the parking lot to
exit via Manning Avenue and would thus eliminate a lot of the
traific in the lane. The connection between the two lanes is
not required for circulation of service and garbage vehicles.

ITEM IT

Re: Parking Restrictions on Shaughnessy Street

There is a visibility preblem for traffic entering
Shaughnessy Street from Wilson east of Shaughnessy. This
intersection is a difficult one to cross because of the curb
on Shaughnessy Street and therefore anything which adds to the
visibility problem creates an additional hazard.

Part of the visibility problen coulée be alleviated
by ciminating parking on the east side of Shaughnessy south
of Wilson for a distance of:about 100 feet and the Public Works
Committee recommends that this be done.
