THE CORPORATION OF THE
CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM

TO: City Administrator November 25, 1987

FROM: City Engineer

SUBJECT: Closure of Harbour Street - Public Works Committee
November 24, 1987

Racommendation:

That Harbour Street be closed at the property IIne between
1980 Harbour and 1190 Pitt River Road and that the closure be
included in the Traffic Bylaw.

Background and Comments:

A condition of the approval of the Shell Service Center at
1190 Pitt River Road, by the Department of Highways, was that
Harbour Street be closed west of Pitt River Road. As Harbour
S+reat is to serve as access for the Shet!l Service Canter, the
closure must take place between the Shell Service Center and

1980 Harbour Street.

it was originally antictpated that Harbour Street would
and In a cul-de-sac trom the east and that the portion of road
tn front of Kroeker's property would be narrowed to a lane for
emergency access only. Hewever, this option became Impractical
when the City purchased the park property off the back of 1980
Harbour Street. The current proposal would be to Install a
concrete barricade across the road to prevent through traffic.

Since Harbour Street Is onty a gravel surface but Is
receiving a lot of use from the new subdivistons to the west,
I+ is desIrable to close It at this time to reduce the need for

~

road grading. It is desirable that all the subdiviston traffic
use Carme! Avenue rather than Harbour Street for access to Pitt

River Road.

The owners on both sides of Harbour Street fully support
the closure.
