Re: Pedestrian Traffic Light at McLean Avenue-
Pitt River Road

I have repeatedly brought up the hazardous situation that exists
between motorists and pedestrians (the latter will lose every time} at this
intersection over the past two years. .

Certainly, the Engineering Department is past the stage of
"investigating the possibility" of installing a traffic light as was moved
at last week's Council meeting.

The volume of traffic will enly increase at the intersection due to
inconveniences on the Lougheed Highway arising from widening improvements.

Attached are some recent comments and resolutions. Monies for

this work are also included in the 1974 budget.

I move that the materials required for a traffic light be ordered

forthwith, and that the necessary engineering be done.
