DRAFT RESOLUTION

WHEREAS the Board of School Trustees of School District No. 43
(Coquitlam) has constructed the Hastings Junior Secondary School west of
the Coquitlam River, north of Lincoln Avenue, and east of Pipeline Road;

AND WHEREAS the said school is expected to open in September, 1976;

AND WHEREAS the majority of the students for the said school will

come from the area of the City of Port Coquitlam located east of the

Coquitlam River thus necessitating a long, arduous, and hazardeus journey

to the said school;

AND WEEREAS an unsatisfactory condition arises as the only route to

'. the school is along the very busy Lougheed Highway which will shortly be

in process of widening from two lanes to four lanes thus presenting all
the consequent and usual hazards of detours, heavy road-building machinery,

unsatisfactory walking surfaces, etc.;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of School Trustees of
School District No. 43 (Coquitlam) and the appropriate agencies of the

Provincial Government be requested to make the necessary funds available

in order that an effective shuttle bus service may be operated from the
area of the City of Port Coquitlam east of the Coquitlam River to the
new Hastings Junior Secondary School west of the River until such time
as walking conditions along the Lougheed Highway return to a reasonable

standard.
