MEMORANDUM

TO: B. Kirk, July 21, 1982
City Administrator

FROM: F.E. Peters., P. Eng.,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Street Lighting -
Public Works Committee - July 20th, 1982

RECOMMENDATION:

That street lighting not be extended in the vicinity
of Fraser and Flint Street at this time:

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

The Committee has received a request for additional
street lighting on Fraser Avenue between Flint and Cambridge
Streets. In viewing the area surrounding this requested street
light, it is apparent that there are number of lights required
on both Fraser as well as Manning and Grant Avenues between
Shaughnessy Street and York Street. It would not make much
sense to put up the two lights that are needed in the requested
block without also considering the other thirteen lights that
are needed in the area. We would doubtless get additional
requests for-them anyway as soon as the first block was lit.

Under normal circumstances, the Public Works
Committee would simply authorize B.C. Hydro to install lights
at the necessary locations as the costs of these come out of
the maintenance budget rather than capital budget. However, in
view of the obvious restraints required next year, the
Committee does not feel it wise to add an annual cost of about
$2,000 to our 8.C. Hydro street light bill.
