facility would not be adequate for the proposed operation; however,

Alderman Keryluk stated he did not think there would be any greater

demand on the system than would be required for a one family situation.
Alderman Laking stated his intention to vote against the motion on the
basis of problems to be faced in the budget, and he also mentioned that
as this is a health service, it should be operated by the P:ovincial
Government. Alderman Traboulay stated he was totally in support of the
motion, as in his view this is the sort of project in which municipalities
have to become involved; however, he also expressed concern as to the
adequacy of the sewage disposal System, and requested that this be
reviewed by the Simon Fraser Health Unit before occupancy of the premises.

City Eng. re From the City Engineer, February 7th, 1975, referring to a memorandum

meeiload limit - truck

route from the Sanior By-law Officer, December 17th, 1974, to the City Clerk,
suggesting that the 10,000 g.v.w. limit be raised to 25,000 g.v.w., in
view of numerous complaints from trucking firms on the present truck
route limit of 10,000 lbs., and advising that the Public Works Committee
is not prepared to recommend any changes at this time.

Mayor Campbell stated he did not agree with the recommendation of
the Committee, and that he felt the By~law is too restrictive as it
affects the movement of inner traffic in the City; however, Alderman
Ranger pointed out that there is a good truck route along Kingsway as
well as an alternate route in and out of downtown Port Coquitlam.
Alderman Laking stated his concern was for local trucks trying to get to
the truck route, and Alderman Mabbett pointed out that it was most
inconvenient for local truckers to have to travel some distance out of
their way on the truck route to reach a nearby service station on
Shaughnessy Street for refueling or repairs.
