Re: Pitt River Road - MeLean Intersection and
Pitt River Road ~ Shaughnessy Intersection.

Reference is made tu the following Council Resolutions:
December 13th, 1973:

"That the incoming Traffic and Public Works Committee review
the Mary Hill Road ~ Pitt River Road intersection and, if feasible, monies
be allocated in the Provisional Budget for 1974 to install a traffic signal
light at that location."

May 13th, 1974:

"That a pedestrian-activated light be installed at the Pitt
River Road ~ McLean Avenue intersection as soon as possible; and if the
Provincial Department of Highways has not agreed to participate in the costs
thereof by June 30th, 1974, that the entire cost be borne by the’City."

June 3rd, 1974:

"That the Public Works Committee be directed to investigate
the traffic light situation at Pitt River Road and Shaughnessy Street;
also, the possibility of installing a traffic light at McLean Avenue -
Pitt River Road intersection."

The Committee would like to advise Council of the following:

1. The Assistant City Engineer in accordance with the above
resolutions and as part of the Major Street Study has been working on these

intersections,

2. A Traffic Engineering Consultant (Zoltan Kuun) has been
retained and is reviewing the Assistant City Engineer's work as well as
obtaining the most recent information from the Department of Highways.

3. A meeting with the Traffic Consultant is slated for the
first week in July to discuss the Major Streets Study, the intersections
in question, and the Lougheed - Shaughnessy intersection.

The Mayor and the Committee Chairman have informally agreed that improvements
to the Secondary Highway should be limited at this time to the Pitt River
Road = McLean intersection and the Pitt River Road - Shaughnessy intersection,
The Committee recommends that every attempt be made to obtain Department of
Highways agreement to pay 100% of the cost because of the inevitable diversion
of Lougheed Highway traffic during the widening construction,

It is requested by the Committee that Council endorse the above
on the basis that it is not inconsistent with previous Council resclutions
with the exception of the reference in the May 13th, 1974 Resolution to
agreement by the Department of Highways by June 30th, 1974.
