The width restriction is the logical one to use
necause that is what we are trying to control. However, we do
not have any signs available restricting width and there would
also be a problem with drivers not knowing their exact width or
whether the restriction applied to outside mirrors. We do have
weight restriction signs and it would seem to me that this is
the simplest and most practical method of controlling trucks

over the bridge since each trucker knows what weight he is
licensed at.

If Council authorizes the weight restrictions, I

ld propose that the weight restrictions apply to the bridge
self with signs posted at each end of the bridge and with
gos indicating "No Truck Route" located for warning purposes
Westwood and at Mary Hill Road on Kingsway. This should be
sufficient for the length of time that it takes to install a

Lemporacy bridge on Pitt River Road.

Notices: have gone out to the major industries in Port
cCaquitlam advising truckers to use the Mary Hill Bypass route
.a@ the Lougheed Highway. This will a long way around. for some
industries and Council might expect to receive some complaints.

r, we do not anticipate this situation to last longer

about two weeks.
