Re: Dyke Right-of-Way Near Pitt River Bridge

-The Department of Highways has asked us to convey to them a
smal}. portion of the dyke right-of~way which lies adjacent to the Pitt
River Bridge. A small sketch is attached showing the location of. this
portion. . ,

The Engineer has reviewed this location and it would appear that
the entire piece of dyke right-of-way lies underneath the highway and he
highway is at such a level that it completes the dyke system at this point.
The Department of Highways have agreed to take full responsibility and
maintain this portion as though it was part of the dyke system.

The Ministry has provided us with their standard property
negotie+ion form offering $1.00 nominal amount for the 1.24 acres that
are involved. As the City recently acquired all of the dyke right-of-way
by a similar arrangement from the Province as part of our dyke takeover,
it would be appropriate to convey this small portion back for $1.00. If
Council concurs, we will conclude the necessary legal work to convey this

. portion.to the Crown.
