(Public Works Commitice Meeting of April 26, 1994)

That Council authorize the planting of sixteen 2.5 metre high Cedar trees along the
north edge of the cul-de-sac in the 2500 Block of Gordon Avenue at an estimated

cost of $2,540.

dese : That $2,540 be allocated from Public Works Special Capital Reserve fund for this

The residents of the strata development at Regal Gardens in the 2500 Block of Gordon Avenue

are requesting that the City plant evergreen trees along the northem boundary of the existing
cul-de-sac at the east end of Gordon Avenue in order to reduce the noise from traffic on the

Lougheed Highway.

As noted in the attached memorandum dated April 21, 1994 from the Project Technician, it is
estimated that it will cost $2,540 to plant sixteen 2.5 metre high trees based on a two metre
spacing between each tree. Bill Herbst of the City Parks Department recommends that Red
Cedars be used for this purpose because it is a relatively dense, fast-growing tree.
