SUBJECT: Flush Coating of Wilson Avenue Shoulders -
Works and Services Committee, March 6th, 1984

RECOMMENDATION:

That the 1984 Capita! Sudget be adjusted to. include
$4,000 for flush coating of the gravel shoulders in front of
the Wilson Apartments near Mary Hill Road and The Orchard
Apartments near Reeve Street. :

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

Complaints have been received regularly from both
apartments about the condition of the shoulder In front of |
their. apartments. Normally the road would have been completed
at the. time of construction of the apartment blocks but
circumstances prevented this from happening at the time. The
residents now feel they should have the same standard of road
as other apartments in the City. Complaints are about puddles,
dust, and rough condition of these gravel shoulders.

The Committee does not expect any major capital
reconstruction of Wilson Avenue until such time.as the new Como
Lake. Extension ts constructed. Therefore the Committee feels
that a flush coating treatment of these shoulders similar to
what was done on Kingsway Avenue last year would benefit the
residents. There is no provision currently in the 1984 Budget
for. doting this work and therefore the Committee recommends that

the Capital Budget be increased.
